LABWRITE
A great resource to use when writing lab reports or even science research project papers is LabWrite. This site is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and maintained by North Carolina State University. It can be used by students from middle school through college.
Guiding instructions are provided for different lab situations. The writing process starts with the PRELAB. On this page there are 3 lab types to choose from. The "Standard Lab" is the typical type you will have in school science class. The "Student Designed Lab" is basically how you write a report for a science research project. If you select the "self-guide" option on the link it will take you to a page with guiding questions for each part of the research process. On that page, select "See Examples" and it will walk you through an example of the type of information to write for assignments #2, 3 and 4 of your science research project .
The site also has resources for how to prepare graphs and make citations. It has an evaluation guide that can be used to check the thoroughness of a report before submitting. I encourage students to use this as a guide to writing their reports.
