ABSTRACT (CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS, BOLD)

(Cambria, 11, Italic) A condensed version of the entire paper; summarizes the four essential
aspects of the paper, namely, purpose of the experiment, results (% yield, % purity, etc.), significance of
the study, and major conclusions. It should give one an idea of the scope of the study. It includes a very
briefsummary of the major steps/techniques used in the experiment. Do not include too much
background information. Typically, 100-200 words.

INTRODUCTION (CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS,

BOLD)
(Cambria 11)
Provides
pertinent
background
information about the study
Acquaints
readers
with
the
experiment
Should end with the objective(s) of
the experiment
Its NOT just another version of the
INTRODUCTION found in the
manual

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION(CAMBRIA 11,

ALL CAPS, BOLD)
Most important part of the report
Presents pertinent results of the
experiment
Organizes data into tables, figures,
graphs,
etc.
(whichever
is
appropriate)
Should provide labels with short
caption for each tables, figures,
graphs, etc.
Label fortables should be on top of the
table while label for figures should be
below the figure

METHODOLOGY(CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS,

BOLD)
Summarizes the procedure performed
in the experiment in paragraph
form(do not include parts that were
not done)
Past tense
Do not include diagram or procedural
steps in preparing set-ups

Discussion should include the following:

- Mechanism of the reaction(s)
- Purpose of each reagents
- Rationalization of method (purpose of
each major techniques in the
methodology)
- Techniques used to increase the yield
- Interpretation of results (What is its
significance?)
- Compare expected results with those
obtained, account for any difference
- Possible reasons for low yield
- Assessment of product purity

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary of important results (should
answer: so what)
Discuss degree of success or failure of
the experiment
If necessary and possible, include
suggestions for improvement ( on the
method used, NOT on the course or
how it is being handled)
Be direct in stating conclusion and
recommendation
(dont
include
background info)
