Bio 150- Laboratory Manual Human Anatomy & Physiology IDCCC Osmosis and DiffusionLast Modified: 06/2020Page1Page1Lab Report # 5 Formal Scientific Lab Report for OsmosisI.General Manuscript Guidelines for Writing Lab Report # 5Lab report #5 should be written up for the osmosis experiment only - do not include the diffusion or tonicity exercises. Please follow the manuscript guidelines below:A. Formatting 1. Typewritten on standard size paper (81/2 X 11 inches)2. Double-spaced3. Font -use either Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri 4. Font Size 125. You may use Microsoft Word to create tables.6. Graphs must be done by hand. You may use the attached graph paper.7. Submitted in Canvas (e-mail submissions will not be accepted).B. Writing Style1. Each student should individually write his/her own lab report. Students will be penalized for plagiarizing work from another student or another source.2. Report should be written in scientific style – clear and concise. Do not use wordy, repetitious, or run-on sentences.3. Must be written in complete sentences in your own words. It is not acceptable to copy sentences or paragraphs directly from the lab exercise.4. Avoid using the first person (ex. I placed the dialysis bag in the beaker). Instead use a passive voice (ex. The dialysis bag was placed in the beaker).5. Report should demonstrate evidence of thoughtful scientific inquiry.6. Points will be deducted for incorrect grammar or spelling.7. Do NOT include pages directly from the lab report. II. Scientific Lab Report FormatLab report #5 must be organized to follow the format below. You should separate each section as you see below and use the section headings (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion) in your report. Create a descriptive title for the lab report which appropriately reflects the nature of the lab experiment. The title should not be too long and wordy, but straightforward and clear. DO NOT just copy the name of the lab.Introduction (6 – 10 sentences)Provide some background information by explaining the concept of osmosis and associatedterms such as isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.Describe the exact purpose for completing the lab – what are you trying to accomplish bydoing the experiment? Bio 150- Laboratory Manual Human Anatomy & Physiology IDCCC Osmosis and DiffusionLast Modified: 06/2020Page2Page2Clearly state your hypothesis (hypotheses) and logically explain the line of reasoning thatled you to develop your particular hypothesis. You must explain what you expect to happen and why.Materials and MethodsUse a vertical listing of all materials used in your experiment and be as specific as possible. Include any chemicals, equipment, and glassware that were used, along with sizes, amounts, and concentrations when appropriate. Just list materials – do not write sentences.Example: 15 mL Thistle tube Dialysis tubing (3 strips) Then use a paragraph format to describe in detail the exact steps you followed from beginning to end when you performed the experiment. You must include sufficient detail so that it would be possible for someone else to repeat the experiment exactly as you performed it, using the same equipment and the same chemicals. Do notuse a numbered list to describe your methods–you must use complete sentences inparagraph form. You must use your own words – do NOT copy the instructions in thelab simulation.Results Your first sentence should make a general statement about your overall results and if they were expected or unexpected. Then, present your actual data using tables and/or graphs when appropriate. You shouldinclude the completed data tables that you used during the experiment.Be sure yourresults are reported using the correct number of significant figures.Tables may be constructed using Microsoft Word, but graphs must be done by hand. Be sure the tables and graphs have titles. For graphs, the X and Y axis must be appropriately labeled (including units of measurement) so that it would be easy for anyone unfamiliarwith the experiment to understand the data. Make sure Tables and Figures (graphs) are numbered according to the order they are described in your report. You will be evaluated on proper table and graph presentation.You must describe the results in sentences as well, referring to tables and figures by number in order. You describe the data trends here (what went up and by how much). Bespecific, but save the why and how for the discussion.Discussion (5-10 sentences) Your first sentence should make a clear statement regardingwhether the data supportsor does not support your hypothesis. Discuss your results by referring to specific results in your tables or graphs that back up your first discussion statement.Bio 150- Laboratory Manual Human Anatomy & Physiology IDCCC Osmosis and DiffusionLast Modified: 06/2020Page3Page3If you think there may have been possible sources of error in your results, now is thetime to mention these issues. If you do not think there were sources of error,then you do not need to address this issue. Conclusion (2-3 sentences)Summarize the major concepts you demonstrated in this experiment.
