I. Introduction:
The introduction provides the background information needed to understand the experiment. It
should explain the theory and principles behind the experiment, offering the necessary context.
The objective of the experiment must be clearly stated, outlining what the experiment aims to
achieve. If applicable, this section should also include the hypothesis, relevant equations, or any
other materials related to the theoretical aspects of the experiment. This ensures that the reader
fully understands the purpose and theoretical foundation of the study before proceeding to the
details.
II. Materials and Equipment:
List everything needed to complete your experiment.
III. Method/Procedure:
Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. This is YOUR procedure. Be
sufficiently detailed so that anyone can read this section and duplicate your experiment. Write it
as if you were giving directions for someone else to do the lab. It may be helpful to provide a
figure to diagram your experimental setup.
IV. Results and Discussion:
The Results and Discussion section combines the presentation and analysis of data. Begin by
presenting the experimental data, using tables, graphs, and figures as necessary. Next, interpret
the data, discussing whether the results support the hypothesis and analyzing the significance of
the findings. This section should also describe any important observations made during the
experiment and discuss potential sources of error that could have affected the results. If
applicable, compare the results with theoretical values or previous studies to contextualize your
findings.
V. Conclusion:
The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the experiment, emphasizing their significance.
It should succinctly restate the experiment’s objectives and discuss whether they were achieved.
Additionally, the conclusion may suggest possible improvements to the experimental procedure
or propose further experiments that could build on the findings.
VI. References:
This section should list all the sources cited in the lab report.
