1. Paragraph One:
   • In your own words describe the purpose of the experiment.
2. Paragraph Two:
   
   • Summarize the procedure.
   • Explain the setup of the lab.
3. Paragraph Three
   • Describe the outcome of the experiment and how it supports or rejects your hypothesis.
   • BE VERY SPECIFIC!
   • From your analysis, point out certain trends or patterns that support your conclusion.
