This document discusses the challenges in diagnosing bipolar disorder in children. It begins by noting that while diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children has improved, there is still no consensus on the symptoms of mania or hypomania in children. Some key challenges identified are that symptoms may present differently in children compared to adults, with irritability more common than elation. Additionally, different studies use varying methods and criteria to define and measure symptoms. The document aims to investigate whether the clinical presentation of hypomania changes between children/adolescents and adults by reviewing literature that directly compares symptoms across age groups. It outlines the search strategy and criteria for relevant peer-reviewed studies between 1980-2016. The conclusion will analyze and compare symptom
The document provides guidelines for writing a formal lab report, including formatting requirements and content sections. It specifies that a report should include a title page with identifying information, an objective, introduction, materials, procedure, results (with quantitative/qualitative results, graphs/tables, and calculations), conclusion, literature cited, and optional questions section. Sections should be single-spaced with 1-inch margins and 12pt Times New Roman font. The results section details expectations for graphs, tables, calculations, and qualitative observations. Proper citations and avoiding plagiarism are also emphasized.
This document provides guidance on how to write up a chemistry experiment or project. It outlines the key sections that should be included such as developing a research question, describing the methodology and procedure, collecting and recording data, analyzing results through calculations and/or graphs, and stating conclusions. Safety considerations and identifying sources of error are also important aspects of the write up. The document uses examples of investigating the rate of a reaction to illustrate how to label variables, construct tables and graphs, and discuss findings. Proper formatting of references is also addressed.
- Calculate the mass of NaOH needed:
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol
Moles of NaOH needed = Concentration x Volume = 0.1 mol/L x 0.25 L = 0.025 mol
Mass of NaOH needed = Moles x Molar mass = 0.025 mol x 40 g/mol = 1 g
- Weigh out 1 g of NaOH and transfer to a 250 mL volumetric flask.
- Add about 150 mL of distilled water to dissolve the NaOH.
- Dilute to the mark with distilled water and invert to mix. The solution is now 0.1 M NaOH.

Formal lab report instructions for the Biology 110 laboratory
Overall assignment:
For Biology 110 you will be submitting one formal lab report for grading this semester. This lab’s formal report must be written in the 3rd person and in the past tense. Their length will vary depending on how concise each writer is, but the paper should be approximately 5 to 9 pages in length, including graphs. The pages are to have 1 inch margins, be double spaced, typed in Ariel or Times Roman 12 pt. and include supporting data (e.g., data tables, graphs, pictures or any other supporting material you wish to include) Each of the section headings must be labeled in your lab report. Skip lines between each section.
Sections
Title:
The title should describe the experiment you are conducting in some detail. You are not allowed to use the title you find in your laboratory manual. The title will be placed on a separate page with your name and the names of your lab mates, date, and course and lab section.
Abstract
The report abstract is a short summary of the report. It should be no more than one paragraph (100-200 words) and should include about one or two sentences on each of the following main points:
· Purpose of the experiment
· Key results
· Major points of discussion
· Main conclusions
It helps to complete the other sections of the report before writing the abstract, as these four main points can be drawn from them.
Introduction
This section should provide sufficient background information to the lab that will allow the reader to understand some of the principles you are investigating. This material can come from what you developed in your pre-lab write-up. It should include a specific statement of the question or problem under investigation, and statements about other goals of the laboratory exercise.
Why is this question important? How does this question relate to the "real world"?
This statement should be two paragraphs in length so you need to do a literature search on the topic(s) and incorporate this information into your introduction. Be certain to cite your sources. Clearly state the purpose of the experiment at the end of the section.
HYPOTHESIS:
The hypothesis section should contain a series of statements of what is to be expected to be observed during the experiment based on the background information you provided in the introduction. These statements should predict the outcome of each experiment or test based on solid scientific principles that you read from your text, the internet or your lab manual. Again, if the prelab was written properly, this section will come from the pre-lab write-up that you worked on prior to the lab. Use the “if…then….because” format.
In other words the hypothesis should convey what you think will happen during the investigation. It differs from a guess in that it is based upon prior knowledge or evidence. It should be supported by previously developed evidence and/or concepts.

*This template will provide you with the details necessary to finalize a quality Final Lab Report. Utilize this template to complete the Week 5 Final Lab Report and ensure that you are providing all of the necessary information and proper format for the assignment. Before you begin, please note the following important information:
1. Carefully review the Final Lab Report instructions before you begin this assignment.
2. The Final Lab Report should cover all 3 experiments from your Week Two Lab.
3. Review instructor feedback from the Week Three outline of the Final Lab Report and make changes as necessary.
4. Review the Sample Final Lab Report for an example of a final product on a different topic. Your format should look like this sample report before submission.
5. Run your Final Lab Report through Turnitin using the student folder to ensure protection from accidental plagiarism
Title
Abstract
The abstract should provide a brief summary of the methods, results, and conclusions. It should very briefly allow the reader to see what was done, how it was done, and the results. It should not exceed 200 words and should be the last part written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
Introduction
The introduction should describe the background of water quality and related issues using cited examples. You should include scholarly sources in this section to help explain why water quality research is important to society. When writing this section, make sure to cite all resources in APA format.
The introduction should also contain the objective for your study. This objective is the reason why the experiment is being done. Your final report should provide an objective that describes why we want to know the answer to the questions we are asking.
Finally, the introduction should end with your hypotheses. This section should include a hypothesis for each one of the three experiments. These hypotheses should be the same ones posed before you began your experiments. You may reword them following feedback from your instructor to illustrate a proper hypothesis, however, you should not adjust them to reflect the “right” answer. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following an experiment.
Materials and Methods
The materials and methods section should provide a brief description of the specialized materials used in your experiment and how they were used. This section needs to summarize the instructions with enough detail so that an outsider who does not have a copy of the lab instructions knows what you did. However, this does not mean writing every little step like “dip the pH test strip in the water, then shake the test strips,” these steps can be simplified to read “we used pH test strips to measure water pH”, etc. Additionally, this se.
This document outlines key concepts for designing and conducting effective biology experiments, including formulating a testable hypothesis, identifying independent and dependent variables, controlling other factors, collecting precise measurements, analyzing sources of error, interpreting results, and drawing valid conclusions. Key aspects are designing experiments to test hypotheses, minimizing random and identifying systematic errors to improve reliability and accuracy, and repeating experiments to verify findings.

Guidelines for Written Reports for Chemistry Labs at LU
All lab reports will be submitted to Turn-It-In through Blackboard.
Format: The report must be a typed electronic document, with reasonable margins and should be double spaced with 12pt. font. The report should be written in 3rd person past tense. (“A 20 mL portion of water was dispensed into a beaker.” not “I took the beaker and dispensed 20 mL of water.”)
The report should include the following components:
· Title Section – This section should include the title of the experiment, the name of the student author, full names of experimental partners, and the class and section.
· Introduction – This section should include a very brief overview of the chemistry/theory involved in the lab.
· History or Background – the report should contain some simple history or background about the experiment representing a context for why the experiment matters to the experimenter. (1-2 paragraphs)
· Theory – The theory should describe the question that you are trying to answer with this experiment, or the underlying principle of the experiment. There may be more reactions or formulae that are the basis for the theory. (1-4 paragraphs)
· Experimental Method – This should be the most detailed section of the lab report.
· Hazards or Warnings (if applicable) – experimental dangers should be noted here and should be made very noticeable at the front of this section.
· Setup or Instrumental settings(if applicable) – For more advanced experiments, the experimental setup should be incorporated which includes drawings or images of any equipment that must be constructed or prepared for this lab.
· Images not produced by the student should have a reference it the text of the report as well as at the end of the report.
· Materials List – the materials that were used in the laboratory should be presented here, in list form. Make sure to include the concentrations of the chemicals as well as their physical states.
· Procedure – the procedure includes detailed steps required to perform the experiment. Steps should be written in complete sentences and listed in a numbed format. Things to exclude are gathering of material, trivial manipulations, basic safety practices and general laboratory etiquette.
· Ex. “Safety glasses were worn.” “Data was recorded” “Lab area was cleaned.”
· Data and Results – This segment of the report should include any data and observations which were collected during the experiment, in the form of tables, graphs, or figures appropriate for the data collected.
· Calculations(if applicable) must be shown here. Typically the calculation you perform should be written out in mathematical terms using words or variables rather than actual data. Make sure.

C125/C126 FORMAL LAB REPORT
FORMAL LAB REPORT, General
A formal lab report is required in conjunction with some of the experiments in each chemistry course. It is your chance to demonstrate to your professor or TA how well you understand the experiment and the chemical principles involved. A formal report is different than a term paper. It should be written in a scientific style, which is not the same style used for English or philosophy papers.
The keys to effective technical writing are organization, brevity, clarity, and an appreciation of the needs of the reader. You must write clearly and be thorough, but concise. Do not ramble. The best way to avoid rambling is to first prepare an outline of the report and stick to it. Always use complete sentences. Bulleted lists are okay in a lab notebook but are unacceptable in a formal report. Formal reports must be typed. Use 1.5 line spacing, 1-inch margins, 12 pt font and 8.5x11 inch paper. Only use third person, past tense. Also, proofread well.
The general structure of a formal lab report follows that of a scientific paper. It is:
Title and Author (s)
Introduction
Experimental Information
Data and Calculation
Results and Discussion
Conclusion
References
Results and discussion sections are combined into one single section. Different instructors may have specific formats that they want you to follow. You should always defer to the instructions given to you by your course. Presented here are general guidelines for writing formal lab reports and scientific papers.
Before writing your first report, visit the library and examine several journal articles. Pay close attention to the style of the prose and the contents of each particular section. Several common journals to investigate are:
The Journal of the American Chemical Society
The Journal of Physical Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Initialed and dated laboratory notebook pages of the experiment must be submitted. While report sheets may be a joint effort, formal reports must be individually written. A schedule of reports and dates on which they are due is given in the course laboratory schedule. We highly recommend that reports be completed prior to the day of submission to allow time to proofread, and thus avoiding loss of points due to last minute problems. Lost data or the inability to print reports is not acceptable excuses for incomplete or missing reports. You will be informed when notebook pages will be collected before the report is due.
FORMAL LAB REPORT - Title and Author(s)
State the title of the experiment, your name, the date and your laboratory section number, if applicable. Also state the name of your lab partner(s). This information should be at the top of the first page.
FORMAL LAB REPORT – Introduction
The Introduction states the purpose of the study and introduces the reader with new ideas and topics. It also provides any background necessary to acquaint the read.
The document outlines the scientific method that students should follow for a science fair project, including forming a research question and hypothesis, designing an experiment with variables and controls, collecting and recording data, analyzing results, and drawing a conclusion. It provides examples of experimental design, data collection through charts and graphs, materials lists, procedures, and results and conclusion sections. Students are instructed to follow this process, record their work in a journal, and cite any resources used.
This document provides guidance on writing lab reports or research reports. It outlines the typical sections of a scientific report which include an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, tables and figures, and references. The introduction presents background information and the purpose/hypothesis. The materials and methods section describes the experimental procedures. The results section reports the findings without interpretation. The discussion section analyzes and interprets the results in relation to previous research. Tables and figures are used to visually present data.

The Laboratory Notebook
Your notebook will serve as a permanent record of your experimental work. It will contain the
information you need to complete your work efficiently and safely, and you will use the information
contained in your notebook to write laboratory reports explaining your results. For these reasons, it is
important that your notebook be complete and accurate. As a general rule, a good notebook is one from
which someone else can repeat your experimental work in the same way that you have done it.
I. General Guidelines:
1. Your notebook must be bound, the pages numbered, and have a carbon copy.
2. Write your name, the course name, and section # on the cover or front page.
3. Always use permanent ink, not pencil.
4. Write it down NOW. Your notebook is a log of what you do as you do it.
5. Use complete sentences.
6. Write everything in your notebook. Weights, temperatures, everything! When recording
experimental data, always include units.
7. Do not erase! If you make an error, draw a single line through it, and continue. The original
statement should still be legible.
8. Never remove original pages from your notebook. You may remove carbon copies.
9. Date every page as you use it.
10. Write legibly! If your notebook is illegible it will not be graded.
II. The Notebook:
Each experiment recorded in your notebook should contain the sections outlined below. A carbon
copy of your notebook pages will be collected at the end of each laboratory period and will graded as
a part of your lab report. Late notebook pages will not be accepted.
Sections A - E must be completed before you begin the experiment. This is the prelab. Your TA will
verify that this section is complete. You will not be allowed to proceed with the experiment if you
have not completed the prelab.
Section F, the Experimental, is recorded as you proceed each day.
Prelab: Completed before you arrive.
A. Title:
Give the experiment an accurate, descriptive title.
B. Purpose:
Discuss the general purpose of the experiment in two or three sentences. If the experiment is a
synthesis (as opposed to a technique), write the chemical equation, including reagents and
expected product(s). For multistep syntheses, write one equation for each transformation, including
the preparation of reagents.

Molecular Weight of an Ideal Gas by the Dumas Method
Objectives:
1. In this experiment we will determine the molecular weight of air and CO2 by measuring P, T, V and weight of a gas sample.
2. You will become familiar with how experimental errors in several measurements combine to give the error in an overall calculated result.
3. You will also become familiar with the routine operation of a vacuum rack.
4. You will refine your lab report writing skills.
Introduction:
In this first experiment, you will determine the molecular weight of a gas by the Dumas method. In the Dumas method, the density of a gas or volatile liquid is determined at a known pressure and temperature. Using the ideal gas law, the molecular mass of the substance can be calculated:
where d is density, R is gas constant, T is temperature, P is pressure and M is molar mass of the gas.
To determine the density of the gas, both mass and volume will be measured independently. A glass bulb is evacuated and filled with the test gas. The difference in the mass of the filled vs. evacuated bulb will give you the mass of the gas. The volume of the bulb is determined by measuring the amount of water required to fill the bulb.
Buoyancy Correction:
In this experiment we are measuring the mass of a small volume of gas by subtracting the weights of two heavy objects, an evacuated sample bulb and one filled with a gas. Changes in the temperature/density of air during the course of the experiment can result in a large amount of error in your result. To prevent this, you may need to perform a buoyancy correction to your masses. When you measure the mass of your sample bulb, you will also measure the mass of a ballast bulb. The ballast bulb is a similarly sized vessel that should have a constant mass throughout the course of the experiment. If its mass changes, then we know that the room temperature/pressure has change and we need to make a buoyancy correction. The buoyancy correction is simply,
mass of Ballast Bulb (initial) – mass of the ballast bulb (final)
To correct our sample mass, we subtract the buoyancy correction from our sample mass. For example, if the mass of the ballast bulb has increased by 0.2 g, we will subtract 0.2 g from the final mass of our sample bulb.
Safety Concerns:
1. Safety goggles should be worn at all times.
2. The vacuum line is equipped with a mercury manometer. When filling the bulbs with CO2, caution must be taken not to have pressure above 1 atm.
3. When handling the sample bulb, carefully carry so that you don’t drop or break it.
4. The experiment requires the use of gases contained in cylinders equipped with a regulating valve. The cylinder must be securely strapped at all times. Consult your instructor on proper use of a gas regulator.
Procedures:
Throughout this experiment you should record the uncertainty (or notes so that you can determine ...

Department of Biology
A scientific research report is a form of
communication in which the investigator
succinctly presents and interprets data collected in
an investigation. Writing such reports is similar to
the writing in other scientific disciplines except
that the format will differ as will the criteria for
grading.
Writing the Report
The questions and hypotheses that initiate
an investigation, the resultant data gathered, and
the background information obtained by reading
the literature will lead to conclusions. Your
research report presents these conclusions and the
appropriate evidence (data and relevant literature).
Before writing the report, construct an
outline that logically presents the information to
support your conclusions. Organize the data into
tables and figures to present the evidence in a
logical order. Many authors prefer to construct a
draft by rapidly putting down ideas with little
regard to sentence structure, and to make
corrections later. Others prefer to make revisions
as they proceed. Write the report with a target
audience of other students with experience in
biology equivalent to that of the class for which
the report is written.
Proper use of English is considered
paramount in grading. Your major responsibility
is to make the reader understand exactly what you
mean by using words with precision, clarity, and
economy. Every sentence should be exact and say
something of importance (no "padding").
Economy and accuracy require using
straightforward English sentences (subject, verb,
and object). Follow a consistent pattern of tenses.
Write in the active voice unless you have good
reason to use the passive voice. The active is the
natural voice, the one in which people commonly
speak and write.
Quotations are to be avoided. All
sentences should be based on your understanding
of source material that you then write as your own
original sentences. When discussing the works of
others, do not include extraneous information,
such as first names or scientific affiliations. In
scientific writing, the major idea of a paragraph (or
sentence) is placed first. Evidence for the idea,
modifications, exceptions, etc., then follow. This
allows readers to quickly skim research reports by
reading the first sentence in each paragraph.
After finishing a draft, review it to see if
the paragraphs and sentences follow a logical
sequence. Examine the arrangement of paragraphs
within a section; some may belong in another
section. Make sure that the transitions from one
idea to another are clear. Study each sentence to
see if it can be clarified, shortened, or omitted.
Rewrite as necessary to achieve clarity. This type
of review and rewriting is best done after not
looking at the manuscript for a few days. Then,
you should ...

· The title must be descriptive and informative. You can try to attract the reader’s attention, but this can often result in a misleading statement. In comparing the two titles below, the first certainly grabs the reader’s attention, but is the ocean really boiling? The second title is more descriptive, informative, and accurate.
o “Boiling Sea Food: The Effects of Temperature and Salinity on the Mass
Mortality of Pisaster ochraceus Along the California Coastline.” o “Increased Ocean Temperature May Result in Mass Mortality of Pisaster ochraceus Along the California Coastline.”
· The title should also contain the major result, specifically whether or not there is a relationship between the independent and dependent variables (or two independent variables). The second title clearly states that an increase in ocean temperature may result in mass mortality. The first title vaguely describes some effect of temperature and salinity on mass mortality.
· Finally, the title should identify the focus species, if applicable. In both titles, the species is clearly identified.
· Below the title should be the author’s name, their institution, and their institution’s address.
Abstract
An abstract is a concise summary of the paper. It should provide all the relevant information needed for the reader to understand the scope of the study. Abstracts do not include references and the best abstracts are written after all the other parts of the paper have been written. Abstracts should include the following:
· an orientation to the theme of the experiment; the general purpose for conducting the study
· the specific objective of the experiment with the hypotheses
· a description of the most important methods
· the specific results that addresses the hypotheses, with statistical values
· a conclusion that addresses the general importance of the experiment, with respect to the theme
Introduction
The rationale of the introduction is to logically discuss the importance and the purpose and importance of the study. It is typically organized in an inverted triangle format, such that the first paragraph provides a broad background of the study. The introduction then gradually narrows to the last paragraph that provides the specific .
This document provides instructions for writing a formal laboratory report. It discusses the typical elements of a lab report including the title, statement of problem, hypothesis, methodology, data, results, and conclusion. Students are guided to write a sample lab report for a grassland biodiversity experiment by developing each section, such as writing a hypothesis based on background information and designing a data table and graph. Following a standardized format and including all required elements will help students earn a good grade on their formal lab report.
The research question investigated the effect of the independent variable (IV) on the dependent variable (DV) in XXXX as measured by a specific method. The author hypothesized that if the IV was changed by specific values, the DV would change in a predictable way based on scientific theory and previous research. Experiments were conducted where the IV was systematically altered while controlling other variables, and the DV was measured. Statistical analysis of the results provided support for the hypothesis. While limitations were identified, overall the study contributed meaningful findings to the scientific question.

Writing a Scientific Report or PaperResults of careful laborsarantatersall
Writing a Scientific Report or Paper
Results of careful laboratory work are not useful unless they can be presented in a clear, concise manner to others for comment and evaluation. Such presentations are usually in the form of a scientific paper published in a reputable scientific journal. Scientific communications have many things in common, which leads to a rather standard style of writing that allow the results and meaning of experimentation to be quickly grasped by the reader. Scientists do not expect to read attractive, stimulating prose to obtain information from technical scientific papers. The experimental design, results and explanation of results are what are attractive and stimulating not the cleverness of the prose. The following discussion should be useful in helping you prepare your laboratory reports, which are scientific reports.
Read it carefully before beginning your reports. Your laboratory instructor may make additional comments. The specific format of a scientific paper varies among journals. However, the format presented below is the most commonly used. It is the format you must use in your scientific writing for this course.
Part I: Format of a Scientific Report
The scientific report will be composed of seven sections. Each section will have a heading immediately followed by the text, figures or graphs. The order of the sections is: title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion and literature cited.
A) Format regulations:
· typed
· double spaced
· 10-12 font, Times New Roman
· 1 inch margins
· pages numbered
· titled sections
· untitled hypothesis
· Quotes are
NOT
allowed. Everything must be properly paraphrased.
· No website references are permitted as sources. No exceptions.
· Everything must be properly cited. It is considered plagiarism if it is not.
· Write in third person, past tense
The overall presentation/grammar/spelling will be evaluated. Although this is not an English class, these elements are important to the proper communication of science. Before you turn in your final version, use the spell check function and reread your report. You should also take the time to visit the Center for Academic Success to participate in the Read, Write, and Cite Workshop series for additional help on writing your reports.
Note: Never write statements like the following: “My lab report is about…”, “My hypothesis is…”,
or any version of this type of statement.

Create a title that briefly conveys to the reader the purpose of the paper. The title of your report must be informative. Many readers scan journal article titles and the decision whether or not to pursue an article is based on the information in the title. Generally, this information includes: primary factor(s) manipulated or studied; outcome of manipulation (the response or effects); and organism studied, if relevant. An example of an informative title would be: "The Effect of Varying Serotonin Conce ...

Guidelines for Written Reports for Chemistry Labs at LU
All lab reports will be submitted to Turn-It-In through Blackboard.
Format: The report must be a typed electronic document, with reasonable margins and should be double spaced with 12pt. font. The report should be written in 3rd person past tense. (“A 20 mL portion of water was dispensed into a beaker.” not “I took the beaker and dispensed 20 mL of water.”)
The report should include the following components:
· Title Section – This section should include the title of the experiment, the name of the student author, full names of experimental partners, and the class and section.
· Introduction – This section should include a very brief overview of the chemistry/theory involved in the lab.
· History or Background – the report should contain some simple history or background about the experiment representing a context for why the experiment matters to the experimenter. (1-2 paragraphs)
· Theory – The theory should describe the question that you are trying to answer with this experiment, or the underlying principle of the experiment. There may be more reactions or formulae that are the basis for the theory. (1-4 paragraphs)
· Experimental Method – This should be the most detailed section of the lab report.
· Hazards or Warnings (if applicable) – experimental dangers should be noted here and should be made very noticeable at the front of this section.
· Setup or Instrumental settings(if applicable) – For more advanced experiments, the experimental setup should be incorporated which includes drawings or images of any equipment that must be constructed or prepared for this lab.
· Images not produced by the student should have a reference it the text of the report as well as at the end of the report.
· Materials List – the materials that were used in the laboratory should be presented here, in list form. Make sure to include the concentrations of the chemicals as well as their physical states.
· Procedure – the procedure includes detailed steps required to perform the experiment. Steps should be written in complete sentences and listed in a numbed format. Things to exclude are gathering of material, trivial manipulations, basic safety practices and general laboratory etiquette.
· Ex. “Safety glasses were worn.” “Data was recorded” “Lab area was cleaned.”
· Data and Results – This segment of the report should include any data and observations which were collected during the experiment, in the form of tables, graphs, or figures appropriate for the data collected.
· Calculations(if applicable) must be shown here. Typically the calculation you perform should be written out in mathematical terms using words or variables rather than actual data. Make sure.

C125/C126 FORMAL LAB REPORT
FORMAL LAB REPORT, General
A formal lab report is required in conjunction with some of the experiments in each chemistry course. It is your chance to demonstrate to your professor or TA how well you understand the experiment and the chemical principles involved. A formal report is different than a term paper. It should be written in a scientific style, which is not the same style used for English or philosophy papers.
The keys to effective technical writing are organization, brevity, clarity, and an appreciation of the needs of the reader. You must write clearly and be thorough, but concise. Do not ramble. The best way to avoid rambling is to first prepare an outline of the report and stick to it. Always use complete sentences. Bulleted lists are okay in a lab notebook but are unacceptable in a formal report. Formal reports must be typed. Use 1.5 line spacing, 1-inch margins, 12 pt font and 8.5x11 inch paper. Only use third person, past tense. Also, proofread well.
The general structure of a formal lab report follows that of a scientific paper. It is:
Title and Author (s)
Introduction
Experimental Information
Data and Calculation
Results and Discussion
Conclusion
References
Results and discussion sections are combined into one single section. Different instructors may have specific formats that they want you to follow. You should always defer to the instructions given to you by your course. Presented here are general guidelines for writing formal lab reports and scientific papers.
Before writing your first report, visit the library and examine several journal articles. Pay close attention to the style of the prose and the contents of each particular section. Several common journals to investigate are:
The Journal of the American Chemical Society
The Journal of Physical Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Initialed and dated laboratory notebook pages of the experiment must be submitted. While report sheets may be a joint effort, formal reports must be individually written. A schedule of reports and dates on which they are due is given in the course laboratory schedule. We highly recommend that reports be completed prior to the day of submission to allow time to proofread, and thus avoiding loss of points due to last minute problems. Lost data or the inability to print reports is not acceptable excuses for incomplete or missing reports. You will be informed when notebook pages will be collected before the report is due.
FORMAL LAB REPORT - Title and Author(s)
State the title of the experiment, your name, the date and your laboratory section number, if applicable. Also state the name of your lab partner(s). This information should be at the top of the first page.
FORMAL LAB REPORT – Introduction
The Introduction states the purpose of the study and introduces the reader with new ideas and topics. It also provides any background necessary to acquaint the read.
The document outlines the scientific method that students should follow for a science fair project, including forming a research question and hypothesis, designing an experiment with variables and controls, collecting and recording data, analyzing results, and drawing a conclusion. It provides examples of experimental design, data collection through charts and graphs, materials lists, procedures, and results and conclusion sections. Students are instructed to follow this process, record their work in a journal, and cite any resources used.
This document provides guidance on writing lab reports or research reports. It outlines the typical sections of a scientific report which include an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, tables and figures, and references. The introduction presents background information and the purpose/hypothesis. The materials and methods section describes the experimental procedures. The results section reports the findings without interpretation. The discussion section analyzes and interprets the results in relation to previous research. Tables and figures are used to visually present data.

The Laboratory Notebook
Your notebook will serve as a permanent record of your experimental work. It will contain the
information you need to complete your work efficiently and safely, and you will use the information
contained in your notebook to write laboratory reports explaining your results. For these reasons, it is
important that your notebook be complete and accurate. As a general rule, a good notebook is one from
which someone else can repeat your experimental work in the same way that you have done it.
I. General Guidelines:
1. Your notebook must be bound, the pages numbered, and have a carbon copy.
2. Write your name, the course name, and section # on the cover or front page.
3. Always use permanent ink, not pencil.
4. Write it down NOW. Your notebook is a log of what you do as you do it.
5. Use complete sentences.
6. Write everything in your notebook. Weights, temperatures, everything! When recording
experimental data, always include units.
7. Do not erase! If you make an error, draw a single line through it, and continue. The original
statement should still be legible.
8. Never remove original pages from your notebook. You may remove carbon copies.
9. Date every page as you use it.
10. Write legibly! If your notebook is illegible it will not be graded.
II. The Notebook:
Each experiment recorded in your notebook should contain the sections outlined below. A carbon
copy of your notebook pages will be collected at the end of each laboratory period and will graded as
a part of your lab report. Late notebook pages will not be accepted.
Sections A - E must be completed before you begin the experiment. This is the prelab. Your TA will
verify that this section is complete. You will not be allowed to proceed with the experiment if you
have not completed the prelab.
Section F, the Experimental, is recorded as you proceed each day.
Prelab: Completed before you arrive.
A. Title:
Give the experiment an accurate, descriptive title.
B. Purpose:
Discuss the general purpose of the experiment in two or three sentences. If the experiment is a
synthesis (as opposed to a technique), write the chemical equation, including reagents and
expected product(s). For multistep syntheses, write one equation for each transformation, including
the preparation of reagents.

Molecular Weight of an Ideal Gas by the Dumas Method
Objectives:
1. In this experiment we will determine the molecular weight of air and CO2 by measuring P, T, V and weight of a gas sample.
2. You will become familiar with how experimental errors in several measurements combine to give the error in an overall calculated result.
3. You will also become familiar with the routine operation of a vacuum rack.
4. You will refine your lab report writing skills.
Introduction:
In this first experiment, you will determine the molecular weight of a gas by the Dumas method. In the Dumas method, the density of a gas or volatile liquid is determined at a known pressure and temperature. Using the ideal gas law, the molecular mass of the substance can be calculated:
where d is density, R is gas constant, T is temperature, P is pressure and M is molar mass of the gas.
To determine the density of the gas, both mass and volume will be measured independently. A glass bulb is evacuated and filled with the test gas. The difference in the mass of the filled vs. evacuated bulb will give you the mass of the gas. The volume of the bulb is determined by measuring the amount of water required to fill the bulb.
Buoyancy Correction:
In this experiment we are measuring the mass of a small volume of gas by subtracting the weights of two heavy objects, an evacuated sample bulb and one filled with a gas. Changes in the temperature/density of air during the course of the experiment can result in a large amount of error in your result. To prevent this, you may need to perform a buoyancy correction to your masses. When you measure the mass of your sample bulb, you will also measure the mass of a ballast bulb. The ballast bulb is a similarly sized vessel that should have a constant mass throughout the course of the experiment. If its mass changes, then we know that the room temperature/pressure has change and we need to make a buoyancy correction. The buoyancy correction is simply,
mass of Ballast Bulb (initial) – mass of the ballast bulb (final)
To correct our sample mass, we subtract the buoyancy correction from our sample mass. For example, if the mass of the ballast bulb has increased by 0.2 g, we will subtract 0.2 g from the final mass of our sample bulb.
Safety Concerns:
1. Safety goggles should be worn at all times.
2. The vacuum line is equipped with a mercury manometer. When filling the bulbs with CO2, caution must be taken not to have pressure above 1 atm.
3. When handling the sample bulb, carefully carry so that you don’t drop or break it.
4. The experiment requires the use of gases contained in cylinders equipped with a regulating valve. The cylinder must be securely strapped at all times. Consult your instructor on proper use of a gas regulator.
Procedures:
Throughout this experiment you should record the uncertainty (or notes so that you can determine ...

California State University, Bakersfield
Department of Biology
A scientific research report is a form of
communication in which the investigator
succinctly presents and interprets data collected in
an investigation. Writing such reports is similar to
the writing in other scientific disciplines except
that the format will differ as will the criteria for
grading.
Writing the Report
The questions and hypotheses that initiate
an investigation, the resultant data gathered, and
the background information obtained by reading
the literature will lead to conclusions. Your
research report presents these conclusions and the
appropriate evidence (data and relevant literature).
Before writing the report, construct an
outline that logically presents the information to
support your conclusions. Organize the data into
tables and figures to present the evidence in a
logical order. Many authors prefer to construct a
draft by rapidly putting down ideas with little
regard to sentence structure, and to make
corrections later. Others prefer to make revisions
as they proceed. Write the report with a target
audience of other students with experience in
biology equivalent to that of the class for which
the report is written.
Proper use of English is considered
paramount in grading. Your major responsibility
is to make the reader understand exactly what you
mean by using words with precision, clarity, and
economy. Every sentence should be exact and say
something of importance (no "padding").
Economy and accuracy require using
straightforward English sentences (subject, verb,
and object). Follow a consistent pattern of tenses.
Write in the active voice unless you have good
reason to use the passive voice. The active is the
natural voice, the one in which people commonly
speak and write.
Quotations are to be avoided. All
sentences should be based on your understanding
of source material that you then write as your own
original sentences. When discussing the works of
others, do not include extraneous information,
such as first names or scientific affiliations. In
scientific writing, the major idea of a paragraph (or
sentence) is placed first. Evidence for the idea,
modifications, exceptions, etc., then follow. This
allows readers to quickly skim research reports by
reading the first sentence in each paragraph.
After finishing a draft, review it to see if
the paragraphs and sentences follow a logical
sequence. Examine the arrangement of paragraphs
within a section; some may belong in another
section. Make sure that the transitions from one
idea to another are clear. Study each sentence to
see if it can be clarified, shortened, or omitted.
Rewrite as necessary to achieve clarity. This type
of review and rewriting is best done after not
looking at the manuscript for a few days. Then,
you should ...

· The title must be descriptive and informative. You can try to attract the reader’s attention, but this can often result in a misleading statement. In comparing the two titles below, the first certainly grabs the reader’s attention, but is the ocean really boiling? The second title is more descriptive, informative, and accurate.
o “Boiling Sea Food: The Effects of Temperature and Salinity on the Mass
Mortality of Pisaster ochraceus Along the California Coastline.” o “Increased Ocean Temperature May Result in Mass Mortality of Pisaster ochraceus Along the California Coastline.”
· The title should also contain the major result, specifically whether or not there is a relationship between the independent and dependent variables (or two independent variables). The second title clearly states that an increase in ocean temperature may result in mass mortality. The first title vaguely describes some effect of temperature and salinity on mass mortality.
· Finally, the title should identify the focus species, if applicable. In both titles, the species is clearly identified.
· Below the title should be the author’s name, their institution, and their institution’s address.
Abstract
An abstract is a concise summary of the paper. It should provide all the relevant information needed for the reader to understand the scope of the study. Abstracts do not include references and the best abstracts are written after all the other parts of the paper have been written. Abstracts should include the following:
· an orientation to the theme of the experiment; the general purpose for conducting the study
· the specific objective of the experiment with the hypotheses
· a description of the most important methods
· the specific results that addresses the hypotheses, with statistical values
· a conclusion that addresses the general importance of the experiment, with respect to the theme
Introduction
The rationale of the introduction is to logically discuss the importance and the purpose and importance of the study. It is typically organized in an inverted triangle format, such that the first paragraph provides a broad background of the study. The introduction then gradually narrows to the last paragraph that provides the specific .
This document provides instructions for writing a formal laboratory report. It discusses the typical elements of a lab report including the title, statement of problem, hypothesis, methodology, data, results, and conclusion. Students are guided to write a sample lab report for a grassland biodiversity experiment by developing each section, such as writing a hypothesis based on background information and designing a data table and graph. Following a standardized format and including all required elements will help students earn a good grade on their formal lab report.
The research question investigated the effect of the independent variable (IV) on the dependent variable (DV) in XXXX as measured by a specific method. The author hypothesized that if the IV was changed by specific values, the DV would change in a predictable way based on scientific theory and previous research. Experiments were conducted where the IV was systematically altered while controlling other variables, and the DV was measured. Statistical analysis of the results provided support for the hypothesis. While limitations were identified, overall the study contributed meaningful findings to the scientific question.

Sections should be labeled and the document renamed with the student's last name for submission.
Writing a Scientific Report or PaperResults of careful laborsarantatersall
Writing a Scientific Report or Paper
Results of careful laboratory work are not useful unless they can be presented in a clear, concise manner to others for comment and evaluation. Such presentations are usually in the form of a scientific paper published in a reputable scientific journal. Scientific communications have many things in common, which leads to a rather standard style of writing that allow the results and meaning of experimentation to be quickly grasped by the reader. Scientists do not expect to read attractive, stimulating prose to obtain information from technical scientific papers. The experimental design, results and explanation of results are what are attractive and stimulating not the cleverness of the prose. The following discussion should be useful in helping you prepare your laboratory reports, which are scientific reports.
Read it carefully before beginning your reports. Your laboratory instructor may make additional comments. The specific format of a scientific paper varies among journals. However, the format presented below is the most commonly used. It is the format you must use in your scientific writing for this course.
Part I: Format of a Scientific Report
The scientific report will be composed of seven sections. Each section will have a heading immediately followed by the text, figures or graphs. The order of the sections is: title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion and literature cited.
A) Format regulations:
· typed
· double spaced
· 10-12 font, Times New Roman
· 1 inch margins
· pages numbered
· titled sections
· untitled hypothesis
· Quotes are
NOT
allowed. Everything must be properly paraphrased.
· No website references are permitted as sources. No exceptions.
· Everything must be properly cited. It is considered plagiarism if it is not.
· Write in third person, past tense
The overall presentation/grammar/spelling will be evaluated. Although this is not an English class, these elements are important to the proper communication of science. Before you turn in your final version, use the spell check function and reread your report. You should also take the time to visit the Center for Academic Success to participate in the Read, Write, and Cite Workshop series for additional help on writing your reports.
Note: Never write statements like the following: “My lab report is about…”, “My hypothesis is…”,
or any version of this type of statement.

Create a title that briefly conveys to the reader the purpose of the paper. The title of your report must be informative. Many readers scan journal article titles and the decision whether or not to pursue an article is based on the information in the title. Generally, this information includes: primary factor(s) manipulated or studied; outcome of manipulation (the response or effects); and organism studied, if relevant. An example of an informative title would be: "The Effect of Varying Serotonin Conce ...

Read Chapter 2 first. Then come to this assignment.
The first theme of next week's class (Week 2) will be Chapter 2, Concepts of Infectious Disease. I will briefly go through the chapter to make sure that you understand it, and then we will have a discussion.
Since the chapter in the textbook is so full of important concepts, it would be difficult to narrow it down to a single topic for discussion. So I have posted this introduction and 3 separate subtopics. You can choose which one you want to write about. Each student should choose one of these subtopics for your major post. You should write well thought out primary comments on at least one of the points below (150-200 words).
BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND SUBTOPIC IN THE HEADER FOR YOUR PAPER.
We will discuss each of the subtopics that were chosen by the students. Each of you should take an active role in presenting your topic to the other students. Explain the concept in your own words, or develop it further using a relevant example. As other students present their perspective on the same topic, hopefully an active discussion will take hold. I will jump in only as needed. This format will allow you to develop one subtopic in an active sense, but learn about the others by being drawn into them through other people's discussions.
Choose your subtopic:
Subtopic 1: Factors that affect the spread of epidemics
Question: Explain how the interaction between these factors are relevant to the transmission of AIDS. For example, which of these factors are most critical to the transmission of HIV. Which aren't.
1. Total number of hosts
2. Host’s birth rate
3. Rate at which new susceptible hosts migrate into population
4. Number of susceptible uninfected hosts
5. Rate at which disease can be transmitted from infected to uninfected hosts
6. Death rate of infected hosts
7. The number of infected hosts who survive and become immune or resistant to further infection
Subtopic 2: Acute versus Chronic Infections
Question: Compare the definitions of Acute Infections and Chronic Infections below. Based on what you know about HIV/AIDS at this point, which description most closely matches AIDS? Explain your answer, using evidence from the book to support your position.
What is an acute infection?
1. Produces symptoms and makes a person infectious soon after infection.
2. The infected person may: transmit the disease
die from the infection
recover and develop immunity
3. the acute microorganism
STRIKES QUICKLY
infects entire group (small group)
dies out
What is a chronic infection?
Person may never show symptoms
Person continues to carry infectious agent at a low level
Does NOT mount an effective immune response
Subtopic 3: Controlling infectious disease
Question: Explain what herd immunity is and how it works. Use an example from either the bo.

Teaching Grammar and Editing in Public
Administration: Lessons Learned from
Early Offerings of an Undergraduate
Administrative Writing Course
Claire Connolly Knox
University of Central Florida School of Public Administration
ABSTRACT
College graduates need to possess strong writing skills before entering the work-
force. Although many public administration undergraduate programs primarily
focus on policy, finance, and management, we fall short of a larger goal if students
cannot communicate results to a variety of audiences. This article discusses the
results of a national survey, which concludes that few undergraduate public affairs
programs require an administrative/technical writing course. Based on pedagogical
theories, this article describes the design of a newly implemented, undergraduate,
administrative writing course. The article concludes with lessons learned, provides
recommendations for programs considering requiring an administrative writing
course, and discusses future research.
Keywords: administrative writing, Plain Language Movement, discourse community,
undergraduate course design
“Administrators not only need to know about communications, they need to
be able to communicate” (Denhardt, 2001, p. 529). Public administration under-
graduate students learn the importance of communication within organizations
in leadership, human resources, or organizational management courses; however,
practical instruction in communication skills, such as effective, audience-centered
writing, are lacking. Scholars (e.g., Cleary, 1990, 1997; Lee, 2000; Raphael &
Nesbary, 2005; Waugh & Manns, 1991) have noted this lack of required commun-
ication and writing courses in public administration curriculum. The majority of
administrative writing literature is from the late 1980s and early 1990s when
universities began implementing Writing Across the Curriculum programs (i.e.,
JPAE 19 (3), 515–536
516 Journal of Public Affairs Education
Londow, 1993; Stanford, 1992). The limited discussions and conclusions coincide
with private and public sector trends—newly hired students’ writing skills are
lacking (Hines & Basso, 2008; National Commission, 2005).
A survey by the National Commission on Writing for America’s Families,
Schools, and Colleges (2005) reported that approximately 80% of public sector
human resource directors seriously considered writing skills when hiring professional
employees and assumed new employees obtained these skills in college. Increasingly,
public managers require employees to attend writing and communication trainings,
which cost governments approximately $221 million annually (National Commis-
sion, 2005). In fact, the public sector (66%) is more likely to send professional/
salaried employees for writing training than the private sector (40%; National
Commission, 2005). Public, private, and nonprofit sector organizations certainly
should cont ...

The document provides an overview of key concepts and processes related to project scope management and time management. It defines scope management as the processes used to define, control, and validate the work required to successfully deliver a project. It outlines six processes for scope management including planning scope management, collecting requirements, defining scope, creating a work breakdown structure, validating scope, and controlling scope. It also defines seven processes for time management including planning schedule management, defining activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity resources and durations, developing the schedule, and controlling the schedule. The critical path is described as the longest path through a project network diagram that determines the shortest project duration.

The Tauber Manufacturing Institute (TMI) is a partnership between the engineering and business schools at
the University of Michigan. In the summer of 1999, a TMI team spent 14 weeks at Dell Inc. in Austin, Texas,
and developed an inventory model to identify inventory drivers and quantify target levels for inventory in the
final stage of Dell's supply chain, the revolvers or supplier logistics centers (SLC). With the information and
analysis provided by this model, Dell's regional materials organizations could tactically manage revolver inven
tory while Dell's worldwide commodity management could partner with suppliers in improvement projects to
identify inventory drivers and to reduce inventory. Dell also initiated a pilot program for procurement of XDX
(a disguised name for one of the major components of personal computers (PCs)) in the United States to insti
tutionalize the model and promote partnership with suppliers. Based on the model predictions, Dell launched
e-commerce and manufacturing initiatives with its suppliers to lower supply-chain-inventory costs by reducing
revolver inventory by 40 percent. This reduction would raise the corresponding inventory turns by 67 percent.
Net Present Value (NPV) calculations for XDX alone suggest $43 million in potential savings. To ensure project
longevity, Dell formed ...
It’s Your Choice 10 – Clear Values: 2nd Chain Link- Trade-offs - Best Chance of Getting the Most of What You Want.
Narrator: In today's episode, what do I really want? Roger and Nicole discussed the importance of being clear about your values when making a decision in order to give you the best chance of making the most of what you really want. When you understand what you care most about, you can determine which outcomes you prefer as a result of the decision. And, while we frequently can't get everything we want, making tradeoffs is easier when we are clear about our values. Roger: Nicole is something wrong? Nicole: Oh no, not really. I'm just kind of distracted today. See, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a car, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to buy. I've been saving for years and I want to make sure I do this right. The problem is that I don't even know where to start. There are so many good cars out there. Roger: I know how tough it can be to try and figure out what you really want it, but you're in luck. On today's show, we're going to be talking about why being clear on your values is so important when making a decision. Nicole: A value is something you want as a result of the decision. Roger: Like when I was trying to decide which college to go to, some of my preferences were to go to a place with a good music program and a D-three basketball team. Nicole: It's funny because when I was looking for a school, I didn't care at all about the basketball team. I was much more interested in theater groups. Roger: and that's fine because values are completely up to the person making the decision. What I want will probably be different from what you want, but I use my values for my decisions and you will use yours for yours. Nicole: I was thinking about asking my friends for their opinions too. Roger: It can be very useful to get input from other people, especially when they're knowledgeable. Just be careful they don't try and talk you into what they want instead of what you wanted. Anyway, have you thought about the things you want the most from the car of your choice? Nicole: Oh sure. There are lots of things like I really want a car I can afford, that gets good gas mileage and is cute safe, a good size and comfortable for my friends. Roger: That's a good start. How about the things you don't want?
Nicole: Well, it has to be reliable. I'll be in a mess if it breaks down. I can't afford a lot of repair bills and I don't want a car that's too big. Roger: That's good. Identifying the things you don't want is just as important as the things you do want. Okay Nicole, now that we have your list, the next step is to ask yourself how important are these things?
Nicole: Well, they're all important.
Roger: Sure, but aren't some more important than others? Nicole: Of course, but I'm not really sure which or which? Roger: A good first step is to identify why something is important to you. For example, is getting good gas ...

The founders are usually of the same mindset and intention about what they want their company to do and
how they would like it to grow. What many companies fail to plan for is the inevitable death of one of the
founding members and what that might mean for the vision and purpose of the company. In other words, what
would the management structure resemble if one of the founding partners had to deal with the heir of the
deceased partner?
For example, once, two middle-aged founders focused on the same mission, creating and living by their
cultural values and vision, diligently reaching out to their target market, and productively engaging their
customers. One partner unexpectedly died. After the funeral, the surviving founder finds himself now working
side-by-side with the recently deceased founder’s 17-year-old son or daughter. Very quickly, the surviving

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Boiling Point of Water
John Smith
Jane Jones
Science 421
October 16, 2001
Objective
To determine the boiling point of water.
Introduction
Kinetic theory states that all molecules in matter are in constant
motion (Kane and
Sternheim, 1984). As these molecules absorb more energy they
have a higher amount of
random movement. As energy is absorbed in the form of heat
the average kinetic energy
(temperature) of the molecules will increase except during a
phase change. The absorbed
energy used in the phase change breaks the attractive forces
between the molecules, thus
transformation occurs in the orientation of the molecules. An
example of a phase change
would be the boiling point of water which is a change from a
liquid to a gas. This can be
observed by using a temperature versus time line graph when
the slope becomes zero
(plateau) The boiling point of water is expected to be 100.00
oC (Merck, 1976).
6. Materials
500 ml beaker, distilled water, thermometer, hot plate, Word
Perfect 11.1
Procedure
The required materials were selected and taken to the
workstation. The beaker was filled
with approximately 300 ml of distilled water. The beaker was
gently placed on the hotplate.
The thermometer was placed in the beaker and the initial
temperature was recorded. The
hotplate was switched on to high. The temperature was recorded
every 2 minutes until 6
minutes after boiling began. The hotplate was turned off and
the materials were allowed to
cool for at least 10 minutes before the equipment was
dismantled.
Figure 1. The equipment for this experiment was set up as
shown in this figure.

100.00 oC
= 0.49 oC x 100
100.00 oC
= 0.49 % error
Qualitative Results
Numerous small bubbles formed at the bottom of the beaker at
70.6 oC. The size and rate
of bubble formation increased as the temperature increased. At
100.0 oC the rate and size of bubble
formation remained constant. At that temperature, there was
constant production of steam.
Conclusion
It was determined from the data plotted in the temperature
versus time graph (Figure 2) that
8. the boiling point of water is 99.51 oC. This concurs very
closely with the stated hypothesis, therefore
the experiment was deemed a success. The percent error was
found to be 0.49%. Possible sources
of error could have involved impurities in the water and human
error in reading the thermometer.
Possible sources of the impurities in the water are chemicals
from dirty glassware. Improvements
would include more accurate thermometers, clean equipment
and proper reading of the thermometer.

Running head: Why is it so difficult to diagnose bipolar
disorder in children? 1
9. AN OVERVIEW: OF DIAGNOSING BIPOLAR DISORDER IN
CHILDREN 4
Why is it so difficult to diagnose bipolar disorder in children?
By:Lakendra Green
An Overview of the Research Topic
This research begins with an introduction of the topic of my
research. Firstly, I will describe a summary of our main topic
question that is “Why is it so difficult to diagnose bipolar
disorder in children? Later, the study background, research
objective, problem statement and I will review in this section.
Moreover, the support, range of the research, and limitation of
the subject support fully described in study one.
Introduction: In the past few years, there has been a meaningful
improvement in the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder in children,
the nominal pediatric or childish -onset form of Bipolar
Disorder (Moreno et al. 2007). The idea of prepubertal origins
of Bipolar Disorder is not completely affirmed, with researchers
discussing whether the state lives in the age group (or if
misdiagnosis of another childhood ailments like Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) also, if it survives, how simple
it is, etc. Whilst clinicians and researchers do not dispute that
children diagnosed with pediatric Bipolar Disorder have mental
dilemmas that require attention and medicine, there is never
consensus about whether this childhood disease is the
equivalent disease as ‘adult- original’ Bipolar Disorder that
typically performs from children onwards. One problem that has
maintained this discussion is the absence of consensus on the
10. essence signs of mania or hypomania (that we relate to as
hypomania) manifesting in children. For instance, many
researchers recommend that the childish kind of Bipolar
Disorder is more suitable to perform with anger somewhat than
happiness in desire, that combined cases may also be simple, or
that there are variations in the number of hardness of Bipolar
Disorder symptoms recognized in children related to different
age groups.
This is a significant approach; however, several of the
statements rely on descriptions of the number of distinct
hypomanic signs in specimens composed of children alone,
sooner than studying subjects that immediately connect the
signs of hypomanic experiences crossed this age group.
Moreover, the pieces of knowledge of phenomenology
frequently utilize various paths to including the signs. For
instance, few investigations describe the appearance or lack of
the symptoms recorded in universally accepted on
distinguishing models (like the A and B models published in the
Symptomatic and Statistical Manual (DSM IV)). In opposition,
different investigations utilize sign grade systems (like the
"Young Mania Rating Scale" (YMRS); (Young et al. 1978) that
evaluate the hardness of all signs that are today (and describe
the low hardness number for every part toward the rating scale).
Finally, I will do a few investigations of children utilize data
collected from parent's interviews or from a teacher.
Investigations of children and grown-ups regularly essentially
rely on data collected from conversations with the average
position (the body with Bipolar Disorder).
Background: Ultimately, I will explain the consequence time
that I frequently utilize in the research. Bipolar Disorder is a
critical psychic disease that includes variations in attitude,
thought, and behavior. It can be classified in three large
subgroups: Bipolar Disorder -I (identified by experiences of
depression and mania); Bipolar Disorder-II (depression and
hypomania) and a diversified group that is seldom applied to as
spectrum diseases, which involves Bipolar Disorder-NOS,
11. cyclothymia, and another smaller clear Bipolar Disorder-like
symptoms (Akiskal et al. 2000). The global ubiquity of each
display of is approximately 4 % (Angst 1988). The top age of
encounter is 15 to 25 years, although the rate continues very
high, completely early, and mid- grown living (Merikangas et
al. 2011). It is recommended that problems with children or
typically started with related sign forms for every stage of the
Bipolar Disorder disorder, e.g., depressive, hypomanic, manic,
and mixed experiences (where manic and depressive symptoms
co-occur), and that the number of various kinds of experiences
is also similar (e.g., depressive experiences are frequent;
combined events are comparatively limited) (Angst 1988).
There have been few changes described in those things by the
age of encounter, although overall problems manifesting in
childhood are normally seen as becoming ‘adult- original’
Bipolar Disorder with different experiences.
Research Purpose: The main purpose of my study will
investigate exactly whether the clinical phenomenology about
hypomania changes over two age groups (children and
adolescents) (e.g., a united collection of children and teenagers
connected to grown-ups with Bipolar Disorder ). The particular
research questions are given below:
1. Is there a variation in the various commonly described signs
of hypomania in varying age group in similar investigations that
utilize accepted diagnostic models, e.g., ICD or DSM (World
Health Organization 1992), or that apply measures that regulate
the heart signs of Bipolar Disorder, e.g., Kiddie- Program for
Affective Diseases and Schizophrenia?
2. Is there a distinction in the signs of hypomania that are
considered as the common critical in various age groups in
related investigations that utilized to set rating scales of
symptom, e.g., the YMRS?
Methods: To solve the important research questions, I will
identify papers that performed a personal identification of the
signs of hypomania in people with adolescence, children, and
/or adults- start Bipolar Disorder.
12. Search Strategy: Established research of a couple of online
databases was initiated to recognize any possibly related peer-
studied unique reports, summaries, or discussion courses.
Reference files of papers were also examined for further papers.
The period of the past research will be restricted from the year
1980 to 2016. The origin date was adopted because that was the
initial time the Bipolar Disorder diagnosis was covered through
the DSM categorization method. The research applied sequences
of words from three general classes: group one uses many terms
for Bipolar Disorder (e.g., manic depression); group two
involved words for age groups (e.g., children); and group three
concentrated on words uses to express symptoms of hypomanic
or manic (e.g., psychopathology).
Conclusion: The information on symptom patterns (practicing a
composite ranking of number and sharpness) described as
weighted rates over age groups. As noted, there are few
differences in sign models through age, including annoyance
/aggressiveness being the several notable features of Bipolar
Disorder in children, and action /energy is the common
noticeable in childhood Bipolar Disorder; the other common
obvious sign is both certain age groups is happy/euphoric
feeling. In Bipolar Disorder in the grown-up, the two common
noticeable signs are these connected with differences in
perception (particularly speed of reasoning as defined by the
strength of communication and contending ideas; and content of
reasoning as defined by grand or unusual approaches).

Introduction
Diagnosing a bipolar disorder has proven difficult especially in
younger children. This research topic will address on the reason
behind the difficulty of this diagnosis in young children who are
below their teenage period or rather the adolescent stage. The
topic will widely covers four general topic which will prove
why this disorder has become extreme difficult to treat in young
children.
Summary
Children in bipolar disorder do not often exhibit the adult
cycle of distinct mood swings of mania and depression
something that makes it harder for the disorder to be
recognized, diagnosed and treated in young children. The
situation has proven to show similar characteristics to
depression especially unipolar depression, anxiety disorder,
schizophrenia as well as border line personality disorder in
children. These similarities will be deeply discussed in this
research paper under the topic question mentioned.
In children, schizophrenia condition similar appears as the
15. bipolar disorder condition. Under this case, children will have
hallucination, delusion as well as other psychotic reactions.
80% of bipolar disorder children will also be affected by
paranoia that is majorly accompanied by disorganized speeches
as well as thought.
These children will often feel demotivated which makes
most of them to lack perseverance hence socially withdrawing
from the society. They also have blunted emotion which may
make the physician suspect the child of suffering from
depression as the situation mimics depression.
In children, borderline personality disorder in children is
marked with lack of emotional regulation that affect the mental
stability of many children in their teenage period. Just like
children in bipolar disorder, children with border line
personality disorder often lacks predictable mood swing
something that makes them uneasy to handle. They normally
have self-image problem which leads to having difficulties and
complications while relating with other children similar to
border line personality disorder.
One of the common reasons why it is difficult to diagnose
this disease is its first appearance as an anxiety disorder hence
confusing the doctor in its diagnosis and treatment mechanisms.
Most of the doctors mistake the bipolar disorder as an anxiety
disorder. Anxiety disorder is accompanied by prolonged fear
and worries which may relevantly influence the function-ability
of the victim. This unlike the fleeting moments of stress which
appear prior to contracting the anxiety disorder.
The reason why bipolar disorder is often mistaken for
anxiety disorder comes in its anxiety, agitation as well as
irritability which are common first symptoms of both the
bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder. In fact, an individual may
be affected by both the bipolar disorder and the anxiety disorder
rat the same time. There is therefore an essential need for the
physician to deeply examine the medical history of the patient
which will help them know if the victim is actually suffering
from bipolar disorder or the anxiety disorder.
16. Normally, the bipolar disorder is marked by extreme shifts in
moods which may vary from time to time between deep
depression and mania which is abnormal elevation of moods.
40% of the bipolar disorder victims are initially diagnosed of
unipolar depression before being actually found with the bipolar
disorder. This has been a conflicting issue and confusing one
for the physician when it comes to determining whether the
patient is suffering from unipolar depression or bipolar
disorder. It is strongly advised for the physicians to note that
unipolar depression does not involve mood swings or mania
which is an early symptom for bipolar disorder in children.
