Lab Report Template
LibreOffice (PlantRegenReportTemplate.odt)
Microsoft Word (PlantRegenTemplate.docx)
Create a folder called PlantRegenLab to contain all files related to
this lab eg. you might call it "PlantRegenLab". Save a copy
of the Lab Report Template file to this folder. This file will be
used to record weekly observations, as described below.
For each week, choose a few images that best illustrate the changes
in hormone-treated explants vs. controls. Add these to your lab
report, with short descriptions of the changes seen week to week,
and milestones (eg. appearance of first true leaf, appearance or

Hints:
- Choose images that clearly show the features of plant tissue,
such as color, texture, or structure. Avoid images that are
blurry or obscured by condensation.

embed images in a table, as shown in the example reports
- Edit your images using any drawing program you wish eg.
LibreOffice Draw, MS-Office Powerpoint.
- Feel free to zoom or crop the image to make it fit easily in
your report

arrows, or whatever makes it clear which cell you are referring
to.
- Save your final image in PNG or JPG format. Then, insert your
image into the report under the appropriate subheading.
