Introduction: General tip: start broad and get more specific (objective statement(s))
For this lab report a good breakdown of the intro should be to introduce the importance of freshwater lakes . Then move into the abiotic factors that can influence the aquatic ecosystem (Light attenuation, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature) Then dive into how these factors influence the biotic parts of the ecosystem and then the objective of this report is to get insight of what the health of this ecosystem is based on the abiotic factors.
