The results section should summarize the data from the experiments without discussing their implications. The data should be organized into tables, figures, graphs, photographs, and so on. But data included in a table should not be duplicated in a figure or graph. This section of your report should enable the reader to develop an appreciation of the general trends in your data and the degree of variability in the results. Concentrate on general trends and differences and not on trivial details.
Many authors organize and write the results section before the rest of the report.
In the discussion section, the data collected are interpreted in relation to the hypotheses or purposes proposed in the introduction. Your findings should be related to existing knowledge on the topic. You should also be able to suggest future experiments that might clarify areas of doubt in your results. This section should not just be a restatement of the results, but should stress interpretation of the data, relating it to existing theory and knowledge. Speculation is appropriate if it is so identified.
