Lab Report
Smooth muscle: Learn how your gut contracts!
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
Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic Summarize the steps taken in the simulation Explain any obtained results 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).
2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic.
What have you learned in class or researched on your own that would help prepare for this simulation?
Hint: You can review the “THEORY” section in the simulation (as shown in the example image below)
3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation.
Explain all steps you completed, including the equipment and techniques you used.4. Describe any obtained results.Explain all obtained results. Were these results expected or unexpected?Hint: You can use the “MEDIA” tab in the Lab Pad to revisit relevant images from the simulation (as shown in the example image below).5. Discuss the conclusions and implications.How do your results relate back to the original purpose and your hypothesis? What systematic sources of error could have affected the results? What did you learn?All Rights Reservedimage2.pngimage3.pngimage4.png
