3. Materials and methods: 1-2 paragraphsa. Written in prose (not as a list) include what should be used in order and how it would be don
e. Use the flow charts as a guide for which test would be done in which order. In your conversation with the lab tech, if there is a choice for direction of the flow chart (for example: Streptococcus versus Staphylococcus) describe WHY you went the direction you did. DO NOT INCLUDE RESULTS.
b. This should be written so anyone could reproduce your procedure. Do NOT include unnecessary information such as ‘walk to the sink’. Remember that all this information is in a lab
