Avoid abbreviations, and initials. See text pages: 692-694

5 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed5 The format of the report AIMRAD A bstract I ntroduction M ethods R esults A nalysis D iscussion + Conclusion

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

7 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

8 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

9 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).

10 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.

11 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

12 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

13 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed13 Results: Avoid ResistanceCurrentVoltage 6.02.0 12.0 (V) 5.91.7 10.0 (V) 6.11.3 7.9 (V)

14 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed14 Results: do not avoid Resistance (kΩ) Current (mA) Voltage (V) 6.02.012.0 5.91.710.0 6.11.37.9

15 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed15 Results - continue Title all figures and tables; include a legend explaining symbols, abbreviations, or special methods Title all figures and tables; include a legend explaining symbols, abbreviations, or special methods Number figures and tables separately and refer to them in the text by their number, i.e. Number figures and tables separately and refer to them in the text by their number, i.e. Figure 1 shows that the activity.... Figure 1 shows that the activity.... The activity decreases after five minutes (Figure 1) The activity decreases after five minutes (Figure 1)

16 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed16 Analysis Calculations and graphing Interpretation of results go into this section Remember to layout your calculations clearly, showing each step

17 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed17 Discussion How relevant are your results ? What errors are there ? Did something go wrong ? Try to be positive Write your ideas to improve the experiment

18 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed18 Conclusion Did you meet the aims of the experiment ? Example: The relative molecular mass of the unknown was determined to be 146.5. The conclusion should echo the Abstract and be as short as possible.

19 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed19 References All references should be listed

20 Islamic UniversityDr.Basil Hamed20 Guess What Yes it is homework # 4 Write a lab experiment for one of the lab you took Due Next Tuesday 1/7/08
