Answer 1

You should record the following while an experiment is progress: procedure, data, observations, and those conclusions on which an immediate procedure decision is based. All notebook information should be as complete as possible. If necessary, you or another student should be able to refer to your notebook and repeat the experiment exactly, comparing observations to those on record. The body of the notebook must be written as simultaneously as possible with your performance of the lab work.
