A good discussion is a summary of the goals and results of an experiment. Upon reading the discussion, a person should be able to answer: Why, How, What Happened, and What’s Next regarding the experiment performed. Each of these points will be expanded below.  Post-lab discussion should be written with a technical tone, and in passive, past tense voice.   I have provided the guidelines of the analysis with an example within that general guidance document. I have also provided my own lab notebook pages and data to write the analysis.
