Apa itu Log Book? (What is a Log Book?)Log Book adalah kumpulan catatan percobaan (seperti jurnal) yang disimpan dan tertata rapi. Buku ini tidak boleh dilepas salah satu lembarnya dan segala catatan di dalamnya harus tetap utuh sejak ditulis.
Apa yang harus ada di Log Book? (What should be in your Log Book?)
Saat akan memulai eksperimen/percobaan, kita perlu mencatat hal-hal berikut di Log Book, yaitu:
All of your research prior to choosing your project. (Include all books, websites and other sources that you researched)Segala hasil penelusuran ketika akan memilih proyek ini. (Termasuk semua buku, laman web, dan sumber lain yang menjadi dasar penelitian)
Proposal (each section must be labeled). Make sure that all the corrections from the original proposal have been made before you copy into log book.
Proposal (Setiap bagian di dalamnya telah diberi tanda). Hal ini juga untuk memastikan bahwa koreksi telah dilakukan terhadap proposal asli sebelum dipindahkan ke Log Book.
- The Problem (in the form of a question)
- Hypothesis – written as an if…. then statement.
- Independent Variable
- Control Variable
- Dependent Variable
- List of the all the Materials that you actually use in the experiment. (This may change slightly from your original proposal).
- List and number the steps/procedures that you are following for your experiment.
- Drawings or illustrations- Illustrate the experimental design and work in progress. Include sketches and diagrams of the setup of your experiment.
Data- You need to record everything that happens in your experiment neatly. Use a ruler to make neat data charts. Be sure to write observations neatly that can be read by others. Please date all entries when they occur. Include photos and drawing if it helps show what has occurred.
- If you run into problems, record the problem and how you plan to solve the problem in your Log Book. Research possible solutions. If it doesn’t solve the problem come up with a new plan and try that.
- Include question and ideas for further experiments or questions for your teacher.
