\section{Experiments}
Here, you should do the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item Create a section for each major section in the lab - you can copy and paste the section you are reading now.
\item In each of these new appropriately titled sections:
\begin{itemize}
\item fill in some of the major steps you took to complete the exercise
\item Feel free to discuss any challenges you faced and overcame in completing the lab.
\item Include images when they are helpful to illustrate your point. Schematics from MML might be something you'd like to include.
\end{itemize}
\item Finally, create a subsection titled 'results' for each section you've created.
\begin{itemize}
\item In the results section, describe the implications of the work you've done.
\item \emph{Note:} You can create subsection by doing \verb|\subsection{TITLE}| instead of \verb|\section{TITLE}|.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Results}
For each experiment, add a results section.
