Need someone to write me an experiment report for a Bio 100 College class.
Format for Experiment Report
Introduction
· Start with your general topic.
· Include ample background information (this should allow the reader to quickly become familiar with your subject).
· State the purpose of your experiment.
· State your hypothesis and back it up.
· Things I need to know from the introduction:
· Why you picked this topic?
· What has past research found on this subject?
· What is your hypothesis?
· Why is that your hypothesis?
Materials and Methods
· This should be in paragraph form.
· Write, very clearly, how you conducted your experiment and what materials you used to do it.
· Include how you recorded your data.
· Basically, after reading this section, the reader should be able to go out and completely recreate your experiment.
· Tip: After you write this section, give it to a friend to read and have them tell you what they think you did.
Results
· Straight up, what did you find?
· This is where you should include any diagrams, tables, or figures.
· DO NOT include reasons why you got your results in this section, save that for the discussion.
Discussion
· Explain to the reader what your results mean.
· Why did you get the results you did?
· If you experiment failed, why?
· Was your hypothesis supported or not? (Remember, we never prove anything in science)
· What are possible future directions of this work? If you were to continue on and do a follow up experiment, what would you do?
Bibliography
This should be properly formatted and only include appropriate sources.
Appropriate sources:
· Chapters or sections in scientific textbooks (this includes your lab manual).
Inappropriate Sources:
· Websites. This includes:
· eHow.com
· Wikipedia.com (this is a good place to start, but DO NOT cite it. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look to see what has been cited there to lead to you appropriate sources).
· Livestrong.com
· Magazines
· Hearsay
