Parts of a Formal Report:
a. Title of Experiment.
b. Introduction. The introduction briefly describes the purpose of the experiment: what you did, how and why you did it. In addition, this section should include a brief scientific background of the topic. All your primary sources of information should be appropriately cited. You should be able to write this section in two paragraphs.
c. Procedure. This section is sometimes called the Experimental section, or something similar. It is basically the same as the procedure section of the lab handouts, summarized and written in your own words.
d. Results. Your graphs, figures, and tables that represent the data you collected go in this section. These should be neat and well-presented. It is NOT sufficient just to show your data. You must also explain, briefly, in words, what each graph, figure, and table shows. Any calculated values should also go in results.
e. Discussion and Conclusion. This section gives your interpretation of the data that was presented in Results. What, exactly, does your data mean? Here you would also consider the uncertainty of your data. Is there anything you found that was unexpected? If so, try to explain it (there might not be a definite, or correct, answer).
You must turn in YOUR OWN work. See the policy on Academic Integrity, below.
