    INVESTIGATORY PROJECTS GUIDELINES

    CLASS XI & XII (2024-25)

    Guidelines to write Chemistry project report


    WRITE YOUR PROJECT ONLY ON THE PAPERS PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL
    WITH BLUE PEN ONLY

    Your report should be written in Standard English prose and be free from spelling
    and grammatical errors. The report should be laid out in a clear way that is
    impressive to the eye. When interpreting results use ‘This can be explained…’, ‘This
    can be understood…, ‘This implies…’ etc.

    “Only handwritten reports to be submitted for evaluation”.

    The reports should have following:

    Title page
    The title page should state the title of your Investigatory project (or synthesis if any),
    your name, your class and the academic year. Abbreviations should not normally be
    used in titles (exceptions include elements, e.g. He, and SI units, e.g. K).

    Abstract/Preface
    The abstract should be a self-contained (i.e. without references, footnotes, undefined
    abbreviations or symbols etc.) single paragraph of text that clearly and concisely
    summarises the project, and announces the main result. Examiner may also only
    read the abstract and the conclusion of a report, so these two parts must clearly
    convey the central message of the project, including the main result and its
    implications.

    Acknowledgement
    The acknowledgement should be stated in paragraph form thanking and
    acknowledging all those people with whose support your project was successfully
    completed.

    Table of contents
    A table of contents is an essential element for reports. The table of contents should
    navigate the reader to certain parts of the report that they may be specifically
    interested in, or want to refer to, and should therefore include meaningful section
    headings, not simply ‘Section 1’, etc.

    Introduction
    This section should give a more detailed description of the background knowledge
    needed to make the report intelligible to a non-expert reader from the same
    discipline.
    Theory (if investigatory project)/Procedure of Preparation (for synthesis)
    This section should explain what you did in sufficient detail for the reader to be
    convinced that the method was suitable. Do not swamp the reader with
    inconsequential details, but do not omit any crucial information that would be
    essential for someone knowledgeable in the field to reproduce the result. This
    section should not simply be a copy of what is written in the manual/handbook.
    Experimental projects should include a diagram of the apparatus used drawn on
    left hand side.

    Observations, calculations, results and inferences


    This part of the report is where the actual results of the investigation are presented,
    and where they can be commented on. It is here that reports will show the largest
    variation between different project types. You should refer to your manual/handbook,
    teacher for any specific instructions about what is expected to be included.

    Conclusions
    Here is where you should very succinctly sum up what you have done, and restate
    the main result or results. You might also discuss your findings and their implications
    in a wider context, and discuss any further work that could or should be done to
    advance the investigation. Remember that together, the abstract and conclusion
    should provide a brief but comprehensive description of your work.

    References/Bibliography
    All reports will contain references. They should be indicated numerically. List of
    websites, links used as reference and books used as references.

    Please Note: Figures: The use of graphs and diagrams in your report is strongly
    encouraged. These should be drawn only on Left hand side using pencil ruler and
    no free hand sketching of diagrams is allowed. Printed diagrams are allowed.
    Graphs should have properly labelled axes. Diagrams/ figures should be properly
    labelled.

    Length: Be concise and complete, but not wasteful in your use of words. Your
    report will be judged on substance, not mere length. Reports should not be
    ‘squashed’ into the limits by using, for example, tiny figures. Title, abstract, table of
    contents, references do not count towards the page limit. There is a minimum length
    limit (15 journal pages).

    YOUR WRITE UP SHOULD BE ON RHS (RULED paper) AND GRAPHS,


    DIAGRAMS, FIGURES, STRUCTURES, EQUATIONS etc. ON LHS (BLANK
    paper).
