ABSTRACT (CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS, BOLD)

(Cambria, 11, Italic) A condensed version of the entire paper; summarizes

the four essential aspects of the paper, namely, purpose of the experiment, results
(% yield, % purity, etc.), significance of the study, and major conclusions. It should
give one an idea of the scope of the study. It includes a very brief summary of the
major steps/techniques used in the experiment. Do not include too much
background information. No detailed procedures and sources of errors. Typically,
100-200 words.

INTRODUCTION (CAMBRIA 11, ALL

CAPS, BOLD)
(Cambria 11)
Provides pertinent background
1
information about the study
Acquaints readers with the 1
experiment
Should end with the objective(s)
of the experiment
Its NOT just another version of
the INTRODUCTION found in
the manual
METHODOLOGY (CAMBRIA 11, ALL
CAPS, BOLD)
Summarizes
the
procedure
performed in the experiment in
paragraph form (do not include
parts that were not done)
Past tense, passive voice

Do not include diagram or

procedural steps in preparing
set-ups

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

(CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS, BOLD)
Most important part of the
report
Presents pertinent results of the
experiment
Organizes data into tables,
figures, graphs, etc. (whichever
is appropriate)
Should provide labels with short
caption for each tables, figures,
graphs, etc.
Label for tables should be on
top of the table while label for
figures should be below the
figure

If necessary and possible,
include
suggestions
for
improvement ( on the method
used, NOT on the course or how
it is being handled)
Be direct in stating conclusion
and recommendation (dont

Discussion
should
include
the
following:
- Purpose of each reagents
- Rationalization
of
method
(purpose
of
each
major
techniques in the methodology)
- Techniques used to increase the
accuracy and precision of the
method
- Summary of data treatment
done
- Interpretation of results (What is
its significance? Are your results
precise or accurate?)
- Compare expected results with
those obtained, account for any
difference
- Possible sources of errors and
their
effect
on
calculated
parameters
