    GUIDELINES FOR LAB REPORT

    1. Title

    Name of experiment

    2. Summary/Abstract (not more than 1 page)

    Should cover briefly:


    Introduction
    Purposes
    Methodology
    Result & discussion
    Conclusion

    Should be written after conclusion of experiment OR project

    3. Introduction

    Background to the work / experiment

    Example:
    The purpose of this experiment is to identify the specific element in a metal
    powder sample by determining its crystal structure and atomic radius.
    These were determined using the Debye-Sherrer (powder camera) method
    of X-ray diffraction.

    Objectives
    Theory / formula used in the experiment.
    The introduction should be of 2 3 pages.

    Example:
    Braggs Law for diffraction is .

    4. Methodology/Procedures/Experimental Method

    List the materials/chemicals/ equipment used


    Example:
    Chemical: NaOH (Merck)
    1. Equipment: Analytical balance (Mettler Toledo)
    2. Apparatus: Conical flask (250 mL), pipette (25 mL)

    State the procedure in chronological order


    Example:

    1
    Prepare 0.5M NaOH solution (from manual)
    0.5M NaOH was prepared (your report) - Use of suitable tenses.

    5. Result & Discussion

    Analyze & calculate data


    Transfer data into Table, Graph, Histogram or Pie chart
    Base on above point, discuss on your findings and relate to your theory
    and objective of experiment
    Relate your findings to other research (project), with appropriate citation
    Comparison be made between experimental results &
    theoretical/predicted/reported values
    Data accuracy and precision (personal, methodological and/or
    instrumental errors) be addressed

    6. Conclusion

    Summary of the results.


    To relate in brief, the findings / results with the theory.
    The conclusion should be one paragraph of 5 7 sentences.

    Example:
    The Debye-Sherrer method identified the sample material as nickel due to
    the measured crystal structure (fcc) and atomic radius (approximately
    0.124nm).

    7. Recommendation

    Base on the conclusion from the project carried out


    Extension of the project for a detailed study
    To confirm/change the findings with other parameters
    The recommendation must be reasonable

    8. References

    A list of lab manuals, books, reports, journal, world wide web (www) etc.
    Arrangement (year, alphabetical order)
    Author, title, publisher, year, chapter or page number
    In explaining theories, in introduction and discussion, the more citations
    the better.
    PLAGIARISM is strictly PROHIBITTED.
