Lab Report – Cell Structure
In science, reporting what has been done in a laboratory setting is incredibly important for
communicating, replicating, and validating findings. However, writing scientific reports can be a little
overwhelming. There are a set of agreed upon components that the scientific community requires when
reporting scientific research. Answer the following questions to describe what occurred during the lab you
conducted in Labster. Be sure to use complete sentences and descriptions that fully represent what you
experienced. Writing a lab report is less about being correct or incorrect, than it is accurately reporting
what happened and why. So, do not worry about reporting data that might seem counterintuitive or
unexpected. Focus on clearly communicating what you did and what you observed.
Enter your responses on a new line.
Title
1. What was the title of the lab you completed?
Topic
2. What was the subject you were trying to understand better in the lab?
Background Information
3. What information from the textbook and classroom is relevant for the subject you were learning about
in the lab? Identify the concepts and explain how they are related to the lab topic.
4. During the lab, what information from the Theory section provided additional background information
about the subject? (To review the theory section, launch the Lab and click the “Theory” tab on the top
of the data pad). Identify the concepts and explain how they are related to the lab topic.
5. Most scientific observation involves examining phenomena or processes. What phenomenon or
process were you observing in the lab? What were you able to change and explore? What did the
simulation not allow to change?
Method
Describing what you did during a lab supports other scientists in replicating your work. It is through this
consistent replication that scientists can see repeating patterns and develop ideas that help move science
forward. When you discuss your observations, in a later section, you will have to describe, in detail, what
you did. You may also have to describe what choices you made, why you made them, and any concerns
about things that occurred that were unexpected. To have enough information to do this, you need to
keep detailed notes. What does not seem important in the moment may end up being something that
explains your findings later. A benefit of conducting virtual labs when learning science is that many
potential errors are controlled for you. The virtual lab environment often will alert you if something is not
going the way it should. This does not occur in non-virtual settings. The virtual lab setting can be very
helpful to learners for this reason. However, we still have to practice documenting so that those skills are
practiced for the lab experiences when technology will not be there as a coach.

6. You have already described the phenomenon or process that you studied in the lab in the previous
section. Now, take some time to fully describe the steps you took during the lab. Do not include the
process of you logging into the lab in your description. For this virtual lab, a short, high-level summary
will suffice.
7. Describe some of the observations you made. What did you write down or keep track of? What did
each of your senses observe during the lab process? What did you see (e.g., changes in colors,
movement, shapes, sizes, patterns)? What, if anything, did you measure? What did you hear (e.g.,
sounds from reactions, collisions, error messages)? What did your lab character touch? Did you
notice anything that seemed unexpected? Did you notice anything that you did not expect to
observe?
8. Which parts of the lab required you to think more than others and required more time? Which parts
were simple and completed easily?
Observations
Many lessons learned from scientific research come from the reporting and analysis of data and
observations. This part of scientific reporting requires detailed descriptions of technical information and
observations as well as high-level synthesis of information. High-level synthesis requires proficiency in
foundational content in the related scientific field and a complementary proficiency in a field of quantitative
and/or qualitative analysis. For this report, let’s focus on big picture patterns.
9. What did you notice about the phenomenon or process you explored?
10. Describe any information about the phenomenon or process that you learned.
Discussion
The discussion section is used to explain why things might have happened the way that they did in your
research. Here, scientists describe any potential anomalies or mistakes and why they think they may
have occurred.
11. During your lab, what happened that might have impacted the accuracy of your observations? Did the
simulation alert you that an error was occurring? If so, how did you resolve it?
12. The discussion section also is used to summarize big ideas from the lab. What were the important
learnings about the phenomenon or process from the lab?
Conclusion
The conclusion section of a lab report describes how the learnings from the lab research fit into prior
scientific knowledge. This is done by comparing new information to previously known information that was
identified in the section of your report that discusses background information.
Review the background information section of your report from above and describe how the results of
your lab compare to the information that you discussed before.
13. Once scientists have identified how new knowledge fits into old knowledge, they discuss the
implications of the new information for moving forward. In this class, the purpose of study is to learn

some foundational science ideas represented by the course learning outcomes. Review the course
learning outcome aligned to this lab in the assignment directions in Blackboard. How is the
information from this lab related to the course learning outcome? What knowledge has the lab
supported you with learning that is related to this course learning outcome?
14. Following scientific research, scientists usually produce new questions that result from what they
learned. These new questions often end up leading to future research. What additional scientific
things did you wonder about after completing and writing about your lab experience?
