  2. Parts of the Report • Abstract • Introduction • Materials and Methods • Results • Discussion • References

  3. Abstract • Summary • Includes major information from each section • Usually 1 paragraph

  4. Introduction • General Background Information • Hypothesis • Design of the Experiment • References to Other Works and Materials

  5. Materials and Methods • Description of the Experiment • List of Materials Used • Design of the Experiment • Procedures Used in Running the Experiment

  6. Results • Written Description of What Happened • Data • Supporting Materials • Tables • Graphs • Photographs

  7. Discussion • Interpretation and Explanation of Results • What Happened? • Was the Hypothesis Supported or Not? • Any Errors or Unexpected Results? • Incorporate Work of Other Scientists to Support Conclusions

  8. References • Listing of Works Consulted in the Development and Running of the Experiment • We are Using APA • Another Scientific Citation Format is CSE

  9. Help for Citing Sources • APA Style Handbook – just ask a librarian at the Help Desk for assistance. • Diana Hacker’s Guide -- this site will show you how to do both in-text citations and a reference list.
