lab reports
Science class documents
Lab reports are formal written documents that describe scientific experiments—their purpose, methods, results, and conclusions.
Students write them in science courses to demonstrate understanding of experimental procedure: The lab report is due Friday.
In professional settings, lab reports document research findings for colleagues or regulatory bodies.
The format typically includes sections for hypothesis, materials, data, and analysis.
