Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed6 Abstract (informative) One short paragraph Aims Aims Methods Methods Results Results

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed7 Aims Aims Concise but informative One or two sentences should be sufficient Example: To determine the relative molecular mass of an unknown dibasic acid To determine the relative molecular mass of an unknown dibasic acid

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed8 Methods and Results Explain in short the method or methods you used to get the results. Write down your results Examples: Text pages 8-10

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed9 Introduction A few paragraphs or a few pages. Includes: Background Background Theories, equations, and rules used in calculations Theories, equations, and rules used in calculations Brief about the work (hypotheses) and expectations Brief about the work (hypotheses) and expectations Remember to quote your sources (you should include a bibliography of your references after the conclusions section).

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed10 Method   Concise but sufficient for someone to repeat the work.   List materials used, how were they used.   Describe special pieces of equipment.

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed11 Method - continue   Use third person past tense Example: A solution of barium chloride (0.05 mg in 100 cm 3) was prepared in water and titrated against silver nitrate.   Avoid starting a sentence with a number Example: 0.05 mg of barium chloride was mixed with 100 cm 3 water

Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed12 Results Tabulate the numerical data when possible Tabulate the numerical data when possible Make sure that you divide tables by measurements units such that you write only number inside the table Make sure that you divide tables by measurements units such that you write only number inside the table
