From Notes to Report

This worksheet asks students to transform an informal set of field notes into a polished, professional-style scientific report. By rewriting the notes using precise scientific terminology, students learn how vocabulary, tone, and structure change the quality and clarity of scientific writing. The helpful word bank encourages the use of accurate terms such as reactants, carbon dioxide, endothermic, and analysis. Students practice turning casual observations into formal academic writing-an essential skill in science communication.
