Lab report structure:

Research Question:

Introduction:

Background Information: (Talk about the area of exploration in details, introduce and explain the

new terms, variables use in this experiment, and the importance/relevance of the topic of research with minimum 15
references from book, research paper, websites, not blogs)

Hypothesis:

Research Question:

Methodology: (A paragraph on the technique of experiment, justifying its application)

Materials required: (can be put in appendix, if page number increases)

Safety Measures: (can be put in appendix, if page number increases)

Procedure: Step-wise.

Analysis: (heading)

Data collection: (table)

Data processing: (show calculation/working equation first, then give processed data table)

Data interpretation: (graph, chart; a paragraph on what the graph interprets)

Evaluation and Conclusion: Draw a specific conclusion from the interpreted data. The conclusion should sound like the best-
possible answer to the research question and should not sound vague. It may or may not match your hypothesis, but you
should mention that. In case you have anomaly, explain in the next paragraph what could be the sources of errors which led
to the anomaly and suggest the possible ways of improving the quality of the experiment. Also, if possible, suggest one or
two possible extension of the experiment. An easy way to do this is by asking to introduce a different variable.

Appendix: Apparatus and chemicals used, safety measures, pictures.
