Detailed instructions

1. Select the lab report section you are currently writing from the Report Section dropdown.
2. Type your experiment topic into the optional field — be specific, e.g. 'catalase activity in hydrogen peroxide at different temperatures'.
3. Click Generate to receive a targeted writing prompt tailored to that section and topic.
4. Write your response to the prompt directly, using it as a scaffold rather than a question to answer literally.
5. Regenerate with the same inputs if you want an alternative angle, or switch sections as you progress through the report.

Use Cases

• •Unblocking a discussion section that keeps conflating observation with interpretation
• •Personalising a hypothesis prompt for a specific topic like simple pendulum period or enzyme activity
• •Assigning a timed post-practical writing task in a Year 10 or AP Biology class
• •Checking Introduction structure against IB Internal Assessment criteria before submission
• •Practising conclusion writing when feedback consistently says 'lacks scientific justification'

Tips

• →For the Discussion section, enter your independent and dependent variables in the topic field — it produces prompts that directly address your experimental design rather than generic evaluation advice.
• →If a section's first draft feels thin, generate two or three prompts for the same section and combine the angles they raise — different prompts surface different assessment criteria.
• →Use the Hypothesis prompt before you run the experiment, not after — it forces you to commit to a directional prediction grounded in theory, which is exactly what examiners check.
• →Teachers: assign the Results prompt as a standalone task with a data table attached — it isolates descriptive writing from interpretation and shows quickly who conflates the two.
• →Avoid vague topic entries like 'chemistry experiment' — specificity like 'rate of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid' produces prompts you can act on immediately.
• →After responding to a prompt, read your answer aloud and check every claim is either referenced to theory or supported by your data — the prompt should have pushed you there, but verify it did.
