That's awesome, love HN has relevant people around.

Could you shed some light on what the 'script' is in 'The lab book is NOT a copy of the experimental script'? Seems to reference homework like tasks 'Task 1: 100 ± 1 kΩ' but in a more undefined experimental context what would that be...?

Maybe "worksheet" is a reasonable equivalent. Describes the the needed context (e.g. what's the goal, what are the principles involved), the experiment itself (setup, steps to do, what to measure, ...), ... for a predefined experiment, especially in a classroom setting.

In the lab notebook you need the details what you did and what you calculated, but don't need to copy all the context for the theory etc.
