TITLE
What to include in your lab report?
A lab report template usually follows a structured and straightforward procedure. Since each part of the report
has its significance, you should spend enough time to write each part carefully. Laboratory reports have
specific elements, which you must include:
Title
The title should describe the experiment and show what you analyzed in your experiment.
Abstract
This is the summary of your experiment and it should familiarize the readers with the research topic. As a rule,
you would write the abstract last even though it’s at the beginning of your report. When writing the abstract,
try answering these questions:
• Why did you conduct the experiment or research?
Introduction
You will use this part of the report to discuss the problem you’re studying and other theories relevant to
understanding your findings. Also, you will state here the hypothesis of your experiment and your motivation for
conducting the research.
Discussion
This section is where you will analyze the results of your experiment along with providing a discussion of your
data. You need to provide an analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of your experiment’s design, then
compare your results with the results of similar experiments. Try to answer these questions while writing
this section:
• What do your findings indicate?
Conclusion
This section will serve as the summation of your experiment. You need to clearly state what you learned from the
experiment and its significance.
Recommendations
Reference
