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. Table of Contents
IV. Introduction
Remember these two questions “What?” and “Why?” as your introduction should answer both. 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.
V. Methodology
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.
VI. 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.
VII. 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.
VIII. 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.
