[Intro: Yung Prius]
Walking into class on a nice sunny day
Slam a packet of pages on Big L’s desk and say
[Chorus 1: Yung Prius & JJ Dent]
Lab day
(Found a purpose and it’s here on this lab)
Lab day
(Check my data tables, they’re pretty fab)
Lab day
(Found a good line of best fit and it’s dope)
Lab day
(Spent an hour calculating its slope)
[Verse 1: Yung Prius]
Here on page one is the title of the lab
Big L’s name
The due date
And finally mine
Don’t forget to write down any partners in the corner
You’ll lose points if names are misspelled or just not there
Flip to page 2 here’s the lab sheet itself
Impeccable, untouched, like a holy scripture
Unless there’s a place reserved explicitly to write data
There should be no marks on this page at all
Next up, here’s the write up pages
With all the stuff you typed up or wrote down in class
This is truly the most labor intensive part of each lab
And the part that’s got me pounding my chest, don’t get stressed, it’s
[Chorus 2: Yung Prius & JJ Dent]
Lab day
(Time to write out “See Lab” for every box)
Lab day
(For materials, I wrote wooden blocks)
Lab day
(Sample calculations, I got a few)
Lab day
(Scribbled down 10 mins before it was due)
[Verse 2: Yung Prius]
First, you need to restate your purpose
A one-sentence repetition of your main objective
If the lab itself has a purpose written
You can likely just write see lab
Then, materials, each and every one
A bulleted list should suffice, make sure it’s nice and detailed
Once again, if the lab has this information already
Just write see lab
Now, it’s time for the procedure
On most labs you can find it right on the sheet
If that’s the case, write see lab again, but if not
You gotta create a detailed list
Each and every step, with materials used
Pretend that the reader has no clue
What to do and that you’re guiding them through
This stuff for the very first time, but you’re not, it’s
[Chorus 3: Yung Prius & JJ Dent]
Lab day
(First move block 1 from point a to point b)
Lab day
(Poke holes in this cup, at least 2 or 3)
Lab day
(Try to hold this meter stick in the air)
Lab day
(Or you can guesstimate without a care)
[Verse 3: Yung Prius]
We’re winding down, next it’s time
To create a clearly labeled data table
If there isn’t one on the lab
You’ll find a digital one quite handy
Now, we’re close to the finish line
It’s time to write out all your calculations
They’ll help to extrapolate meaning from the numbers
In the data above
The penultimate feature of your write-up
Are answers to any questions you may have received
These could be general, or specific
To the data you collected with your team
Finally, the conclusion comes
Write about the procedure, and what you learned
Make sure to document relationships
Between variables and write in sources of error it’s
[Chorus 4: Yung Prius & JJ Dent]
Lab day
(It’s lab day, it’s lab day)
Lab day
(It’s lab day, it’s lab day)
Lab day
(It’s lab day, it’s lab day)
Lab day
(It’s lab day, it’s lab day)
[Outro]
Ooh!
Lab day
It’s Yung Prius
And it’s lab day
Yeet
