Also comment on the accuracy or precision of the equipment and discuss any limitations of the equipment. Discuss possible error sources. Please include a title page, including names, the date or completion, and instructors name with the report. Briefly describe the overall goal or goals of the experiment.

Most people researching technical reports, only read the abstract.
The introduction should include a brief explanation of the scope of the experiment. It may be desirable to include the reasons for the experimental work or the reasoning of the steps conducted within the project. The lab procedure section may be presented at this time or it can be encompassed within the results section of the report, whichever seems a more effective format. For example, when writing a report for an experiment with many sections, it may be advantageous to state the procedure followed by its results, section by section. The amount of detail is subject to some discretion.
