Fermentation Lab Report Review on expectations and common mistakes
Title Page • Descriptive title (larger font, middle of page and centered) • Name • Class (Bio 1115, Day, Time) • Date • TA: Becky Zemple
Format • Section titles (L side, underlined) • No space between sections • Page numbers on bottom (center) • Title and works cited pages don’t count for numbering • Length: 5-7 full pages • Works Cited on separate page
Common Mistakes • Consistency: alcohol/ethanol/ethyl alcohol • 14% (not fourteen percent) • mL (not milliliters) • Effect vs. Affect • CO2 vs. CO2 • Table of solutions • Increases in CO2?
Common Things Forgotten • C1V1=C2V2 • Multiple trials • Sealed pipettes • Original ethanol concentration: 50% or 25%? • Water type used • Water bath temperature • Qualitative observations
Graphs • Descriptive title • Figure 1, 2… • Axes labels • Variables • Legends
