Laboratory Reports Requirement

A lab report is down into eight sections: title,


abstract, introduction, methods and
materials, results, discussion, conclusion,
and references. The title of the lab report
should be descriptive of the experiment and
reflect what the experiment analyzed.
1.Title

The title of the lab report should be


descriptive of the experiment and reflect
what the experiment analyzed.
Ex: "Hepatitis B Ag, HCV Ab, HIV
4. Methods and Materials
 The methods and materials section provides an overview of any
equipment, apparatus, or other substances used in the experiment, as
well as the steps taken during the experiment. If using any specific
amounts of materials, make sure the amount is listed.
 Ex: pipette, graduated cylinder.
 List the steps taken as they actually happened during the experiment,
not as they were supposed to happen.
 If written correctly, another researcher should be able to duplicate
the experiment and get the same or very similar results.
5. Results
 The results show the data that was collected or found during the
experiment.
 Explain in words the data that was collected.
 If using graphs, charts, or other figures, present them in the results
section of the lab report.
 Tables should be labeled numerically, as "Table 1", "Table 2", etc.
Other figures should be labeled numerically as "Figure 1",
"Figure 2", etc.
 Calculations to understand the data can also be presented in the
results.
6. Discussion
 The discussion section is one of the most important parts of the lab report. It analyzes
the results of the experiment and is a discussion of the data.
 If any results are unexpected, explain why they are unexpected and how they did or did
not effect the data obtained.
 Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the design of the experiment and compare
your results to other similar experiments.
 If there are any experimental errors, analyze them.
 Explain your results and discuss them using relevant terms and theories.
 When writing a discussion, try to answer these questions:
 What do the results indicate?
 What is the significance of the results?
 Are there any gaps in knowledge?
 Are there any new questions that have been raised?
7. Conclusion

 The conclusion is a summation of the


experiment. It should clearly and concisely
state what was learned and its importance.
 If there is future work that needs to be done,
it can be explained in the conclusion.
8. Referrences

 Ifusing any outside sources to support a claim or


explain background information, those sources
must be cited in the references section of the lab
report.
 In the event that no outside sources are used, the
references section may be left out.
