to visually demonstrate part of the procedure. Do not copy

the procedure in the manual word for word​.

5. Results (20 points)

This is where all of your recorded data, answers to

equations, and graphs, charts, and diagrams will go. Each

equations used needs at least one referenced sample

calculation. ​Do not discuss your data here, as this is merely

the section where it clearly needs to be portrayed to the

reader.

6. Discussion, Data Analysis, and Conclusion (25 points)
