Synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of Experiments in Elementary Science, Vol. 1 of 2

Method. The manipulation indicated is such as to lead directly from Purpose to Conclusion, and it is suggested that all temptation to make more than the fewest possible motions in demonstrating be resisted. A formal write-up of the Method contains a record of all that was done, and all that was seen by the student, but nothing more; it is complete enough to be intelligible throughout to anybody who may read the write-up without seeing the experiment performed. There is apt to be a tendency, on the student's part, to take certain things for granted as being too obvious to require recounting, but such scamping of important written work should be discouraged.

Conclusions. The conclusions should follow the suggestions contained in the questions under that heading in the stu dent's manual, and should be complete statements of the inferences drawn from the Method or demonstration.
