1 Name: Biology 309 Lab Notebook This is a guided lab notebook for you to keep well-organized notes about procedures and record experimental data for experiments as they are performed. It is guided because, instead of providing a notebook with blank pages, you are given a framework for recording certain key information. What you are required to include is not the thorough record that would be expected in an actual research laboratory, but will model how such notes should be maintained. Note keeping guidelines Notes must be neat. If you can do so in ink, fine. But if not, then you must use a pencil. When necessary continue not taking on back side of pages. The first page of each section must be completed before coming to lab, and will be collected at the start of lab. If you are working on it in lab it will not be accepted. Completing this page is critical to your preparation for the lab exercise. Other pages of the lab notebook will be collected periodically. Recording Procedures: Each student is expected to take notes as procedures are performed. Recording Data: In some labs, it will be easier for one student to record the data as the partner carries out a procedure. This is fine, but the data should be copied over to the other lab notebook. All graphs should be fully and properly formatted per the Figure preparation guidelines. Graphing, calculations, and other data processing: must be done but each student individually; although you are expected to compare notes to assure agreement after doing so. Other than to transfer data, copying from another person s notebook will be considered plagiarism. Solution Preparation It is expected that both group members participate in the preparation of all solutions.
