HOLT PHYSICS Evaluating Lab Work, Sample Report<br />

Sample Patent Application Lab Report<br />

This sample lab report is provided to give your students a model to follow.<br />

Your students’ patent applications will not be exactly like this one, but they<br />

should contain the same basic parts.<br />

6. Description of Invention: The Doormat Lighting System consists of a<br />

doormat wired in a series circuit with a dc battery and a light bulb. The<br />

doormat is constructed by taking two pieces of cardboard or other firm<br />

material and covering them with aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is<br />

glued or taped securely to the cardboard. On one piece of cardboard,<br />

drinking straws are glued securely, one at each end and one in the middle<br />

of the cardboard. The straws on the ends should be almost the same<br />

length as the end of the cardboard, and the straw in the middle should<br />

be about half that length. All straws should be centered lengthwise on<br />

the cardboard, so there is equal distance from the end of the straw to<br />

the edge of the cardboard on both sides. See Drawing A.<br />
