• Step-by-step procedure – explain what was performed/done in the lab.
Data (5 points)
• Can be as part of the main report or as attachment.
Results and Analysis (35 points)
• Tabulate all data and plot all the necessary graphs – make sure all Tables and Figures are labeled properly, have all the variables and units, and have measurement errors, and error bars are displayed in all the Figures;
• Calculate experimental and theoretical values, along with the error values – includes sample calculation for experimental values and the error (least square, error propagation, etc.), handwriting as attachment is acceptable;
