My observation report

Here is a link to an example of an observation report.  You can use this example to guide your writing.  

Try to use as much science vocabulary that you can.  E.g. instead of saying ‘sucked up the water’ you could say ‘absorbed the water through the stem’

WALT write an observation report

Introduction:

The first paragraph should introduce what you are going to inform the audience about.  

e.g. This term we have been learning about plants...
On August the 10th 2012, our group gathered a couple of plastic cups, the flowers and some water.We put the flowers into their own cups and watered them.There was a dandelion and a daisy.   
Procedure:

Tell your audience exactly what you did and how you did it.  You might use commas to list your actions.

You might use words like:  when, then, after that...
The first day of our procedure, the plants were fine, until the dandelion was put in the dark. but we put daisy in the sun for twelve to twenty four hours.
Observations:

Tell your audience what you noticed.  What were the changes?  Why do you think those changes happened?  What were some problems?

You might use words like: on the first day, noticed, observed, changed...
The next day, we went to see dandelion and daisy. When we saw dandelion, some of the leaves we dead  and all of the leaves were hanging down like they were sad.But when we saw daisy she looked as good as new.
Conclusion:Tell your audience what you learned from the experiment.  What were the key things that you found out



how you felt at the end of your experiment.Tell your audience

You might use words like:  I discovered, I realised, I learned that...
I learnt that if you put a flower in the dark, then it will die but if you leave it in the sun and water it then it will be as good as new everyday






If you don’t want your flowers to die then don’t put them in the dark.
