Step 4 Page 5 – Writing a Scientific Report

When writing a scientific report, it is important to remember the questions you asked, the Hypothesis you created, and all the Data collection you did.

  • Title page
  • Abstract
  • Introduction
  • Methods section
  • Results section
  • Conclusion
  • Discussion
  • References
  • Appendix

Many researchers have their own way of writing all of this up, and very few will write these sections in the order they would appear in a scientific paper. Perhaps try starting out writing your method, a section you should be familiar with, and then it might be easier to move on to results or introduction sections. Find what works for you!
