Exactly. 99% of this is substituting what you did in the experiment into the example lab report the teacher goes over in class. How the hell can't you figure that out?

Purpose
Summary of Procedure (you can put in materials here, if you want + directions)
Safety Analysis
Data
Calculations
Conclusion
In my college ( engineering physics ), a lab consists of 5 minutes of the TA explaining in broken english what needs to be done, 1 1/2 hours of speeding through the lab ( lack of equipment, time, broken equipment ), then 1 1/2 hours of graphs ( making up info as required to fit data ), writing explanations based on the amount of space given ( which won't be read anyway by the TA ). If you have nice pictures and stories ( a lab about diffraction can have a tale about your cat ) to go with them, you've got yourself an A.
