Final Report Format:

ABSTRACT: State on broad terms the problem that was addressed, the method of addressing it, and the main results. (approximately 1 paragraph of 5-10 sentences)

INTRODUCTION: This is an expanded version of the abstract. Include more explicit details about the hypothesis, the methods used, and more detailed information about the results of the "big picture" - impact on society, technology, etc. (approximately 2-3 paragraphs).

EXPERIMENTAL DESCRIPTION: Specifically describe what you did. How were materials obtained? How were samples made? Give specific details about how the data were taken, and where applicable, explain the analysis you did. Where possible, whether initial measurements spurred work, or raised questions, which were then addressed or not addressed (if not, why not?) List suggestions/comments for future work where applicable. (Length appropriate to project need.)

RESULTS: How did the results of the work you did compare with initial hypothesis? If the results supported the hypothesis, discuss the broader implications. If the results did not support it, discuss the possible reasons and suggest ways of addressing these issues. Include diagrams, graphs, and photographs where applicable. (Length appropriate to project need).
