Abstract:
[a short summary of the lab and your conclusions]
Introduction:
[brief context for why this experiment is meaningful or important]
Theory:

[set the stage for your experiment—what should someone expect to happen and why? predictive calculations go here]
Procedure:
> procedure section can go before theory
[set-up, tools, instruments, procedure, analysis techniques]
Experimental Results:
[present your data, uncertainties, and any additional comments needed for your data to be understood by the reader]
Conclusions:
[analyze your results and connect to the theoretical predictions—what conclusions can you draw?]
