3. Apparatus: List the apparatus required, Describe fully any new or item preferably
with a diagram.
4. Procedure: Describe briefly the exact procedure followed, in order.
5. Precautions: Every experiment will usually have a few points which have to
be specially taken care of, Mention these specifically.
6. Observations: This is the most important part of the write up. Always an open
and critical mind. Describe fully what you have observed? If possible tabulate
your observations in order. Give diagrams when desirable, with adequate labels.
7. Calculations: If any.
8. Discussion: Here you can write the inferences from your observations. Also make
any relevant comments on the limitations of the Experimental techniques and any
alterations or additions that you would like to make. Specially discuss any unusual
observation of your findings. Avoid extensive theoretical discussions. It is a good
practice to make your discussion no longer than the account of your observations.

experiment while they are in the class and submit for correction at the end of the class.
