Since you are turning things online, there is no need for a cover sheet.


So Table 1 is from the lab descriptions, not the report form.  On it you
will see values like ~1.00 ml,  ~10.00 ml.  What the writers of the lab
were trying to cover is that it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will have
exactly 1.00 ml. 

Let's say your initial buret reading was 0.81 ml, you let out
approximately 1 ml and you next reading is at 1.83 ml.   In Table 1 you
would have those values recorded, but in your lab report form the EXACT
volume would be 1.83 - 0.81  = 1.02 ml.

  Make sense?
