Title of the Experiment

I. Objective/s:
 copy from the Laboratory Manual
II. Materials:
 copy from the Laboratory Manual
III. Procedure
 convert the procedure in the Laboratory Manual in passive voice
IV. Tables, Graphs and Calculations
 If needed in the experiment
 start on a new page of a short-sized bond paper
 Ensure that all tables, graphs and calculations are properly labeled.
V. Discussion of Results
 DO NOT USE PERSONAL PRONOUNS
 This portion should NOT be a mere cluster of information copied from
books.
 This section of the report should discuss the concepts related to all procedures
and results related to the experiment.
  Discuss each procedure and result by citing theories and concepts
from valid references.
 Present in paragraph form.
VI. Conclusion:
 DO NOT USE PERSONAL PRONOUNS
 Write a concluding paragraph which answers the objectives and
summarizes all the theories and concepts used in the experiment.
 Cite practical applications, i.e. environment and industry.
 A scientific report requires simple, straightforward, impersonal and formal
language, so avoid using the phrase, “I therefore conclude...”
VII. References
 may be textbooks, published journals and/or valid internet sources
 Note that the Laboratory Manual is not considered as a reference material.
 Use the APA format in citing references.
