Scientific Article Example - A scientific article I wrote in graduate school.  While a little different then a formal lab report, many details are similar.  The idea behind a scientific paper and a lab report is to accurately and succinctly explain what you did, why you did it, how you did it, what happened and why it's important.  And the paper should enable anyone to perform the same experiment and get the same results.
