Explain why you did the different procedures, but do not go into elaborate detail, assuming your reader has the background of one of your classmates. Give enough detail so that you could come back several years later and be able to repeat the experiment from the lab report. The Results should present the data you collected, without interpretation. Use tables or figures where appropriate. Summarize the data if needed to avoid long pages of data.
Tables are lists of numbers, figures include any sort of illustration, map, or graph.
Each should be numbered sequentially and be provided with a descriptive legend so that it may be understood within the paper without additional information. The Discussion should provide an explanation of your results and their significance. You may compare your conclusions to other published results or comment on the broader significance of the results. Identify sources of error or inadequacies of the techniques used. Suggest improvements in methods where needed.
