Lab Report
Useful links http://www.psychwww.com/tipsheet/labrep.htm http://mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/maderinquiry/writing.html https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/ A scientific report usually consists of the following:
1. Title
2. Abstract
3. Introduction
4. Materials and methods
5. Results
6. Discussion
7. Literature cited
Title
The title should be less than ten words and should reflect the factual content of the paper. Scientific titles are not designed to catch the reader 's fancy. A good title is straightforward and uses keywords that researchers in a particular field will recognize.
Scientific paper often use APA style format

Qualitative Analysis of Various Organic Compounds

Abstract: The purpose of an abstract is to allow the reader to judge whether it would serve his or her purposes to read the entire report. A good abstract is a concise (100 to 200 words) summary of the purpose of the report, the data presented, and the author 's major conclusions.
Abstract example 1
Protozoans are unicellular eukaryotes with either plant- or animal-like characteristics. Through careful observation, we analyzed various protozoan cultures in order to identify characteristics associated with cell structure and movement of these one-celled organisms. We found that Protists exhibit certain characteristics that allow them to be categorized into different groups, mainly determined by their locomotion patterns. Despite differences in locomotion and the varying plant-like and animal-like organelles, all protists share key characteristics and functions that allow them to feed, grow, and reproduce--processes essential for survival and common to complex organisms.
