How to Write a Biology Lab Report

I. Title Page
II. Abstract

This is a short overview of your lab report. A 150-250 word presentation of your work to the
reader. It should give your audience an understanding of why your experiment was needed, how
you conducted it, and what they should expect from the results.

III. Introduction

Remember these two questions "What?" and "Why?" as your introduction should answer both of
them. Tell the reader what you were aiming at while carrying out the experiment, and why you
wanted to find that out. Having provided enough reasoning, your readers will be motivated to
proceed with reading the report.

IV. Materials and Method

This is the “How” section. Briefly describe the whole experiment. Enlist the tools you’d used
and what for. Finally, explain the experiment procedure, as a step-by-step guide. This is crucial
since anyone knowledgeable should be able to repeat your experiment with having only your lab
report.

V. Results

Present your findings here. Use graphs and tables to present the results. Treat those as
illustrations to the story you are telling your readers.

VI. Analysis, Discussion, Conclusion.

Here, analyze your findings from the theoretical point of view. Explain and interpret them, so the
readers can come to conclusions similar to yours. Give your opinion on the matter, but don't
forget to back it up with your findings. Describe any difficulties you’ve had, and how they could
have or could not have been avoided. Give possible improvements to your experiment. Describe
how the results can be used in future research.

VII. References

Include every theoretical piece or other findings you’ve referred to in your report.
IX. Appendices

Any raw data that could not be fitted in the report.
