Lab Report

Bacterial Isolation

This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills. Include enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to someone who understands the concepts but has not participated in the simulation. Use correct scientific terminology whenever applicable.

Sections

  1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis
  2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic
  3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation
  4. Explain any obtained results
  5. Discuss the conclusions and implications

1.    Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.

What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred.

Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in the example image below).
