My lab report explored the graphics performance differences between macOS and Windows, with benchmarking from games and tools across both platforms. The most difficult sections for me is abstract, it’s because It was difficult to put everything on the lab report to 1-2 paragraphs. I did really well on data by creating tables to record the results from difference MacBook. I would give myself a 95, from borrowing the laptops, installing operating systems, installing benchmarking tools and games, calculating the frame rate from each result, to writing about the whole test and putting a result in the lab report, I put lots of work on this lab report. I can definitely improve my lab report by using multiple methods, I would use more than 3 benchmarking tools, rather than just using two. and give myself more time on the lab report, because I had to borrow laptops from others and installing boot camps on the laptops, so the time management was very important.

This lab report focused on the relationship between the density and surface tension of liquids. Although I used an old lab report from high school I was able to add a lot of new information that I never knew before and I learned a lot of new things. In my high school lab report, I only had a few sections. I didn’t need a theoretical background, analysis or abstract and so I didn’t know what they were. This was because in high school I was writing the lab report for only my teacher to read. In this lab report, however, I added an abstract, analysis and theoretical background. This time, I was writing this lab report for anyone to read and so it is important they understand the experiment. I decided to add a theoretical background because I felt that explaining the theory of surface tension would be too much in an introduction.

I believe I could have improved some parts in my lab report. One part I believe I could have done better was in the procedure. Although I understand the procedure it is clear to me, I am not sure if others would understand. I felt like my procedure was not clear enough. In terms of what I could have done to make the experiment better, I could have used a better balance beam or container. Writing the lab report was difficult because it was hard thinking about new things that I could include in the report. Since I used an old lap report from high school, all my ideas were already in my lab report. At first, my high school lab report had 700 words. After a lot of research and brainstorming, I managed to write an additional 900 words. Another difficult part of the lab report was explaining the theoretical background in a way that anyone could understand it. I feel like I did a good job on this because I defined a lot of scientific terms and used simple words.

For this lab report, I would give myself a 90 because I completed all the sections of a lab report. I feel like someone with no knowledge of surface tension could understand what it is by reading my lab report. I also had to do a lot of research because my high school lab report only covered the experiment and was uncompleted. Since this lab report was already half done, I feel like a 90 is a good grade based on the amount of work I had to put in.
