Words to know

lab report
A written account of a science experiment.
sample
A small amount of something used for testing.
conclusion
The final part that says what the results mean.

Answer key

  1. Have you finished looking at the data for our lab report?The -ed of “finished” is a t sound.
  2. Almost, but some of the results look strange.“Of” is weak: “some-uv-the”.
  3. Maybe we made a mistake when we measured the samples.The s in “measured” sounds like zh.
  4. We should repeat the experiment before we write the conclusion.The t of “repeat” is hardly heard.
  5. Good idea, I'll ask the lab assistant for more time.“I’ll” is “I will”.
