Without proper procedures, the rest of the activity is a waste of time. Be prepared for people to critique, and look for flaws in, your procedure. Carrying out flawed procedures can hurt your reputation in the scientific community, or at least in your Chemistry classroom. I will offer some tips to keep in mind when writing your procedure sections. The recipe analogy is a good one.
Recipes are very specific, because they are designed for others to read and follow.
Your procedure section should be just as specific. Someone following your procedures to the letter should expect the same results that you observed. There is no need to go over the use of a balance in every procedure section. Massing an object is a procedure unto itself, and you can assume that the reader is familiar with it. How to mass the reagent is up to him or her.
