Things to include in your lab report

1.  Title - you make up one

2.  Your name and name(s) of lab partners

3.  Date(s) performed

4.  Purpose(s) of experiment

5.  Data table, including headings and units

6.  Analysis where you try to answer these questions:

- How is frequency (f) related to harmonic number (n)?
- How is speed (v) related to harmonic number (n)?
- How is speed (v) related to tension (provided by weight, W)?

Anything else that you noticed in the experiment?  How is frequency related to tension?  This may remind you about certain musical instruments, etc.  Write about anything that is interesting and related.

This is where the bulk of the writing in the write-up occurs.

7.  Sources of error (threats to validity)

8.  General concluding remarks
