Click For Summary
In a formal lab report, the appendix section can include raw data and sample calculations. There is no strict requirement to number the items in the appendix; it can be formatted either with or without numbering. The choice should prioritize clarity and ease of use for the reader. It's advisable to follow any specific instructions provided by the instructor regarding the appendix format. Ultimately, the goal is to make the appendix entries as accessible as possible.

Homework Statement



I am writing a formal lab lab report. I have trouble with Appendix section.
I am going to put raw dat and sample calculation.
And my question is, do I have to number them?
For example,

blah, blah blah...
2. sample calculation of Standard deviation
(My calculation of SD)

Or, can I just put them in my lab report without numbering?
For example,

I looked for formal lab report guidelines which are plenty at internet, However, I could not find whether should I (number)label several things in appendix or not.

As to the style of what you will include in your appendix, just do what you believe will make the appendix entries easier to read or easier to use; or however your instructor tells you.
