Pass out the lab write up expectations to the students at the beginning of class and go over it with them. It can also be found on my website. Explain to them each subheading and which steps can be shared within the group (Question, Hypothesis, Materials, Methods, Tables, Graphs, and Works Cited) and which steps have to be done individually (Observations, Research, Results, and Conclusion). When I say individually, I mean they collaborate with their group but everyone puts it into their own words. When I am done going through the expectations, take the students to the Math/Science lab to get started on their write up.
When we get into the lab, I will show the students how to use the citation sites on TK's Library website (specifically Knightcite). All the students need to do is, pick the right source on the left hand side of the site and then plug the information in and click submit. They can then copy and paste the citation to their lab write up.
After that explanation, I will walk around the room and see if there are any questions.
