# **Procedures**
#### **This section is for storing the files that include the step-by-step instructions on how to safely and efficiently work with the materials and equipment used in your project or experiment.**
Having a copy of your procedures on hand at all times can be very useful to refer to while you are working and even more so when you write your final report or thesis.
Additionally, other than uploading files directly you may, as always, edit the wiki to include any information you believe will be helpful. This information may include:
- Instructions on using individual pieces of equipment.
- The procedure you followed in completing your experiment.
- Explanations about the procedures such as the reason why a step needs to be taken.
- Anything else you want to put here!
