Fast Plant Lab Report –Part II
Name:__________________________________
Self-Editing Check List
1. Do you have an introductory sentence or two to describe the experiment?
2. Did you summarize your numerical data in clear, complete sentences? Here you are stating the data
(numbers) in words. You are basically summarizing what happened (without referring to the problem or
your hypothesis - this will be in the next paragraph).
3. Did you include the data? Both your groups data and the total data? And make sure you identified
what the numbers refer to?
4. Did you explain what effect bees have on the pollination of Brassica rapa? Did you tell the answer to
the original problem based on your results? (Look back at the problem in your journal if you have
forgotten!)
5. Did you state whether your hypothesis was supported or not?
6. Did you include what your original hypothesis was?
7. Did you use data, once again, to show that your hypothesis was supported or not supported?
8. Did you try to explain/analyze why your hypothesis was supported or not supported? Did you provide
some explanations for the results?
9. Did you wrap up your lab report with a conclusion sentence?
10. I shouldn’t find the words “I think” anywhere in your report. Will I?
11. If you used the scientific name for fast plants, did you write it properly? Think!
12. Did you read your writing out loud to yourself to pick up on errors in grammar and sentence
structure?
13. Did you edit for spelling, grammar and punctuation?
14. Is your assignment typed? Double spaced? No larger than 14 size font?
