Structured Scientific Report

Student Number:______________________

Title of your study: please think of a suitable descriptive title for your project. “Chemistry Practical” is not a sufficient title!

Abstract (150 words maximum):

Please write a 150 word max summary of your entire project which introduces what you have done, summarises the main findings of your experiment and suggests why this is important.

Introduction (maximum 600 words): Please write a concise, referenced introduction that outlines the work undertaken in your study, the wider field it sits in, what your aim is and how experimentally you are going to do this. Set the scene. Not everyone who reads your paper will be an expert in your field, so you must include enough information so that the rest of your paper is understandable.

Introduction continued (if needed)……

Materials and Methods (maximum 250 words): What materials you used, what experiments you performed and how you did them. You must include enough detail so that someone can repeat your experiments based on your paper alone. This is written concisely in the past tense / third person. No “I” or “We” did this please. Nor is this a recipe or a list of instructions. DO NOT copy the methods from the practical manual, these are NOT in the correct format.

Results (500 words maximum): Here you present the results of you investigations but do not discuss them. The Results section is usually written as prose, in paragraphs and is not just made up from figures and tables. Make sure that any figures and tables are numbered and include appropriate figure legends below figures and table legends above tables. Use as many pages as necessary.

Discussion/conclusion (500 words maximum): Explain the results of your experiments and refer to relevant references from the literature. Do the results that you found agree with what you can find in the literature? If not, then why do you think not? You must suggest further work and can suggest improvements to the study. Your discussion will end with a concluding paragraph summarising your overall discussion – DO NOT PUT ANY NEW INFORMATION INTO THIS PARAGRAPH. Remember, the conclusion is just a single paragraph, not an entire page!

References (not included in word count): Only include references that you use within your report and list them according to the Harvard style of referencing. You can find out how to correctly use the Harvard Referencing style by following this link: https://learn.canterbury.ac.uk/webapps/portal/execute/tabs/tabAction?tab_tab_group_id=_35_1
