OK, it's time to start thinking about your lab write-up. This will ultimately be due next week some time. Here is what your lab will need:
1. Introduction - with purpose and discussion of the "problem" - this is more than just the purpose. Give some background to what you are trying to do/measure.
2. Detailed equipment list
3. Detailed procedure, as you did it - make sure that a total stranger can follow your method.
4. Data table - with all calculations done
5. Graphs, if relevant
6. Sample of calculation - you need to do them all, but you only need to SHOW one sample
7. Discussion of error - the things that you really can not control
8. Discussion of other errors - things that could conceivably be eliminated (and how to do so)
9. Discussion of how close you are to the accepted value of g (9.8 m/s/s)
10. General conclusion
It is ok to have 7-9 in one large section.
