Lab report on skeletal muscle physiology You may choose either Ex. 5A: The Cell—Transport Mechanisms & Cell Permeability or Ex. 16A: Skeletal Muscle Physiology

The report will be graded on content and format. Please see rubric below:

Content: 80%

INTRODUCTION: 25%
?Introduces the topic of the experiment, with sufficient background information to exhibit a clear understanding of the material covered
?States major objectives clearly
?States HYPOTHESIS properly

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10%
?Includes all materials used through the entire experiment (Use complete sentences. Do not just make a list of materials)
?Describes all procedures as they were performed in paragraph form with complete sentences (NOT as a recipe or as written in the lab manual)

RESULTS: 15%
?Explains clearly and concisely, in paragraph form, data and observations (Do not explain or interpret your data, just state the results)
?Displays relevant graphs/tables/diagrams (Results are always written out first then you show your graph or table, if applicable) Be sure to reference all graphs/tables/diagrams in the written portion of the RESULTS

DISCUSSION and CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS/APPLICATIONS 30%
?Discusses how results support or fail to support hypothesis
?Explains and interprets the data/observations
?Explains possible sources of error
?Describes how information might have practical uses in a clinical setting
?Formulates further experiments to test hypothesis, or proposes a new hypothesis and experiment (based on observations in current experiment)

LITERATURE CITED
?Properly lists all reference books, articles and websites used to write the report (See syllabus for examples)

Format: 20%

GENERAL: 15%
?The report has a descriptive title
?Materials and Methods are written in paragraph form with complete sentences
?Each graph/table has a descriptive title
?Axes of graphs are properly labeled
?Sections are properly titled
?Length is 3-6 double-spaced pages
?References are cited correctly in the body of the paper and in the LITERATURE CITED section
?The report and each section are logically organized

ENGLISH: 5%
