the experimentation..

Abstract - This is a brief 50 - 100 words summary and overview of your lab. It should
include the question, a brief summary of the procedures, and an overview of the
results

Introduction - In this section of the report, written in paragraph format, you should

Results/Data Collection/Analysis - All of the data that was collected during the
experiment should be presented in a data table or tables. Additionally, a graph of the
data should be included in this section. Make sure that the graph is appropriately titled
and axes labeled. The graph should include error bars if applicable to the experimental
design. Ensure that all tables and graphs have headings.

Discussion/Conclusions - This portion of the report is used to clearly explain whether


the results support or refute the hypothesis being tested. Explain what your findings
mean and what conclusions you can draw from the data. Sources of error and
suggestions for improvement should be included in this section. Use specific numbers
from you data as evidence of any claims that are made. Include the following in the
conclusion:
● state a valid conclusion & explain
● discuss the results of your experiment
● explain any unexpected results & why those results may have been obtained
● evaluate the data to determine if it supports your hypothesis using specific
reference to the data
● evaluate the procedure, making suggestions for improvement if needed •
identify weaknesses & state realistic improvements
