For the "When Two Cars Meet" Lab Activity, begin your lab report in your lab notebook with the following sections:

   Name, Date, Lab Title, Lab Partners

   Materials: List materials used

   Procedure: 

    - Rather than a paragraph, explain what you did in numbered steps (still use complete sentences)

    - Be specific and don't leave any details out

    - Try to write in 3rd person passive; for example, instead of "Tape the ramp to the floor," write "The ramp was taped to the floor" (as if you were just watching someone else do it!)

 

We will talk about the other sections more on Monday.  The lab will be due on block day, by the end of the day.
