FORMAL AND INFORMAL LAB REPORTS

The informal report differs from the formal report in three major respects. The informal report omits: (1) the abstract, (2) description of procedure (except where there were significant deviations from the procedures of the instruction manual), and (3) exposition of the physics underlying the experiment.

Follow the link below to RPI's description of a formal lab report.
