10 Experiments - 1S1P Report Writing Guidelines

You can earn 5 points for each experiment that you explain or discuss.  You can report on at most 2 experiments.  You shouldn't report on the Foucault Pendulum experiment if you have already turned in a Foucault Pendulum report as part of Assignment #3.  Your report regardless of whether it covers 1 or 2 experiments must fit onto 1 side of 1 piece of paper and must be double spaced (handwritten reports may be single spaced)

Explain in your own words what the experiment attempted to show or prove.  Why was the experiment important?  Try to include as many specific details as you can and avoid generalities as much as possible.

Your report or the two parts of your report (if you discuss 2 experiments) will be graded on a pass/fail basis.  You'll either receive full credit or no credit for each part of your report (the best way to not receive any credit is to just copy or paraphrase material from the reference source).

If you use any additional reference sources be sure to cite them.
