Description
–On pill bug behavior lab.
–Light vs Dark and Dry vs Wet.
–Typed and printed.
Basically, it should contain a cover page with a title that clearly identify your work (not like “pillbug lab” which could mean anything). Then your name, and class. From second page, Abstract or Summary, Introduction which should contain background, purpose of your study including hypothesis, Materials and Methods contain details of procedure written in a way anyone should be able to repeat the experiment by just following your procedure, must be written in past tense in paragraph from as it is already completed by you. Next section is Results that you need to write 2-3 lines, add graph with description of graph in the bottom (you need two graphs), the you Discuss your result in discussion section. Finally, two sections are reference citations, you will need two (in intro or discussion) and acknowledgement. All sections must have separate heading.

- 1Tell how you might conduct a similar exercise in the future.
Reference/Literature cited
