Hints
 * Please do not write things like "I enjoyed this experiment and it was lots of fun". Science prac's should not contain your personal __#|opinion__. First you have a question and form a hypothesis, then you perform the experiment. Finally you discuss your findings and discuss your observations and results in your discussion. To conclude you write a brief paragraph about the success and results of the experiment, it must relate directly to the aim of the experiment.

= ** Activity: Prac report ** =

This is an example of an anonymous student's first ever Science Prac report. Most of the report was up to standard however there were a number of reasons why this student didn't receive full marks.

Your task is to list all the things that could have been included/removed from this report to achieve full marks. Please note: A number of questions were provided for students to discuss in the introduction and discussion. As a hint one thing that this student could have done was discuss the themes without having it in question and __ #|answer __ format. Remember it's a report, not a test!!
