Data from our gravitropism/phototropism lab and a word about lab noteobooks

Posted on by

Here is the excel file with our class data. Here is the tomato graph and the IAA radish root graph for your to print and add to your lab notebook.

Please note that a complete botany lab notebook includes study questions, drawings for each station/prepared slide with labels, measurements and scale.

For our final lab, I expect you to include a brief introduction to the goals of the lab, your hypotheses, data tables with results (cut and paste from your lab handout or transcribe) from experiments and observations of tomatoes and radish seeds, a brief methods (pasted in or written out), individual and class results displayed as a figure or graph (provided here) and discussion of results with explanation of any possible experimental errors.

Good luck!

  • We have mandatory lab and project space clean-up scheduled at 9 am Thu. May 26.
  • Participating in clean up is part of your program responsibilities as a student who used lab facilities.
  • If you miss the clean up, you will need to arrange with an SIT to make up the clean up on your own time and complete it individually.
  • You may not sign up for an evaluation conference unless you have completed a lab clean up. Submission of evaluations may also be contingent on lab clean up completion.
