Abstract

(This is the summary of the whole experiment. State an overview of the experiment, i.e., objectives, procedure,
results. This part should be contained only in a single paragraph must not exceed 200 words)

Introduction obtained from the experiment placed in appropriate

(It gives the background of the experiment, a little
review of related literature. It discusses the
principle behind the technique used and the
applications of the technique. It also mentions new
discoveries or developments related to the
topic/laboratory technique being discussed.)
Methodology
(State the actual procedure carried out.It gives a
detailed description of what methods or procedures
were used to obtain the results. It must be in past
tense. DO NOT COPY from the procedure in the
handout. This may be accompanied by a scheme
which shows the sequence of steps in the
procedure or a graphical drawing of the set-up
used/instrument used. Write all observations and
data obtained at each part of the procedure
including the physical properties of the organic
products when necessary)
table or charts. It is accompanied by a detailed and
organized explanation of the data obtained from the
experiment. Compare the results obtained with any
known theoretical data and discuss how your
results agree/disagree with the theoretical data. It
explains the reason behind obtaining the results
and how this justifies the accuracy of the results
obtained based on the objective of the experiment.
It also explains any incorrect or incongruent result.
It also looks into any part of the experiment where
errors were committed (faulty instrument,
personal/human error) and how it has affected the
results. All references used in the discussion must
be cited.)

based on the results you have obtained in the
experiment. Summarize your findings)
Recommendation

(Suggest ways on how the experimental procedure

can be improved to obtain better results )(optional)
