The methods section should outline everything that was SPECIFICALLY done in the experiment including:
 set-up
 measurements taken
 calculations made (showing the calculations)
Diagrams will likely be a big help in describing any and all aspects of the methods, and should be used liberally
to clarify set-ups and measurements.

Discussion
3 paragraphs
- This is where you interpret your results to say if your prediction worked. Be sure to use actual data from
the experiment to support or reject your prediction.
- Talk error and/or percent errors. Discuss some possible errors - implicit errors you faced (not blunders
or situational errors).
- Discuss how you would improve this experiment in the future.
