Lab Reports
You will be asked to write a lab report for each lab that we do. They will be due two weeks from the completion of the lab. Below is a link to a sample lab report as well as the rubric that is used to grade them. You will need to print out a copy of each rubric and attach it to the front of your lab report when you turn them in.

Sample Lab Report
Please take note of the following in the sample:
- The running header at the top of the page with your last name and the page number
- In-text citations
- There's a caption for each table and graph
- There are zero bullets and lists anywhere. Everything needs to be written/typed out
- There should be a paragraph or 2 in the data section describing what you got
- Skip the Abstract section, you do not need to do it.

Unit Notes and Study Guides: You will have to copy these into your notebooks/separate paper. Note quizzes will be given each day a section is due and you may use your notes on them as long as they are hand written. Study guides are for your benefit only. They will not be collected or graded but I will go over them with you if you come in during tutoring.

Hawaii Succession: Read this article and write an analysis that will relate the succession we have talked about with the succession scientists are currently observing in Hawaii after the volcanic eruption. Then predict what types of plants will be moving into the area over the next few years and justify your answer, basing your prediction on what we expect to see.
