Laboratory Notebook for Physics Experiments - Chris McMullen

This laboratory notebook is designed to provide structure and organization to the recording of data and/or preparation of lab reports for students and instructors of physics labs. Sections include prelab exercises, lecture notes, objectives, illustration of experimental setup, procedures, data tables, computations, tabulation of results, analysis, conclusions, sources of error, references, notes, and attachments. The notes and attachment sections provide room for additional sections or continuation of previous sections as well as an area to attach graphs, spreadsheet printouts, or other documents. Each section designates lined space for written work or blank space for calculations or illustrations. Compared to traditional blank notebooks/journals or starting from scratch with a word processor, this physics laboratory notebook provides a built-in structure for more organized reports. A class using these notebooks will submit reports in a much more uniform format.
