__Things to think about as you are experimenting and getting data__ 1) If you are in a lab situation outside of school, make sure to have your mentor write and sign a brief letter stating what you did in the lab. 2) Bring a camera! Taking pictures of your set-up and process can help when you make your poster. 3) Remember to write down exactly what you did. Don't forget to include amounts and units when explaining what was done. It should be detailed enough so that another person could re-create your experiment just as you performed. 4) DO NOT BEGIN until ALL safety concerns have been addressed. Make sure to consult the [|IJAS manual] before you begin and never hesitate to ask your mentor/sponsor.

Consult the IJAS manual before beginning your experiment
