BIOLOGICAL MOLECULESLNL #2

GETTING STARTED Read through the entire experiment so you

will know what is coming up next. Write your hypothesis using the “If-Then”

format. Each experiment will have its own hypothesis.

Follow the procedure, recording all data. (That means write it all down in an orderly way.)

HYPOTHESIS Before you can write the hypothesis, you need to

understand the purpose of the experiment. What are you trying to ‘prove’ or find out by doing the experiment? Where do you go for ideas about the purpose of the experiment?

What is the title of the experiment? What are the objectives/goals of the experiment? What is in the background information/introductory

paragraph that will help you? The hypothesis must be in the If-Then format.

PROCEDURES Procedures must be re-written into the blank lab

report in your own words. Experiments listed as #1 – 4 are designed to show

a positive test result for each of the biological molecules.

Experiment #5 is the actual 1 experiment you are testing. Use the goals at the top of the template to formulate your 1 If-Then statement as your hypothesis.

DATA/OBSERVATIONS Complete the table in each experiment.

Be sure you have saved all of your information in LNL.

Then click on “submit assignment” at the bottom of the first column in student assignments.

CALCULATIONS/INTERPRETATIONS There are no calculations in this lab. Answer the 3 questions in this section based on the

data (information) collected in the 5 experiments.

FINISHING UP Use the template to write your report. Type your hypothesis immediately after the directions

for it. Type (or copy and paste) your procedure immediately

following the directions for it. Insert your data in the space provided in the data

section. Answer all of the questions in the

calculations/interpretations section. Write your conclusion telling if your hypothesis was

correct or incorrect and support your statement with your results. This should be about a paragraph in length.
