Introduction: . An introduction should include all pertinent background information needed for the reader to understand the lab (i.e. definitions of terms, content area background, pertinent scientific laws and theories, chemical equations, mathematical formulas, derivations etc...). Next, a concise statement of the problem that is being investigated must be included. You may be required to include a hypothesis (a justified prediction as to the outcome of the experiment) within the body of your introduction. Materials: This is a point-form list of the various resources you used to complete your investigation. . Quantities should be included whenever possible. . Safety precautions should be included. Procedure: This is a summary of what was done during the investigation. . The summary should be clear and to the point. . Your procedure should be organized in numbered steps and written in past tense, impersonal (no personal pronouns). . Include a titled, labelled, well-organized, meaningful diagram when appropriate. Results: This section includes all the data and/or information that you collect from the investigation. This information can frequently be expressed in chart form. . . All observations will be made with an appropriate degree of precision. This section may include: 1. data charts 2. calculations (sample calculations) 3 . graphs 4. qualitative observations Interpretation & Analysis: This section summarizes the experiment in paragraph form, and interprets the results. This section directly relates your results to the purpose. The hypothesis should be evaluated in this section. Evaluation: . This section relates to the reliability of your results, especially by comparing them to the control group and possibly any other reputable sources. This section includes any sources of error for the investigation.\f
