You must include a Table of Contents

Put a centered header on this page –
Table of Contents
Put a page number for the start of each

That means that the pages of your paper
need to be numbered – top right corner!

The Table of Contents

After your materials and methods section,
you can add your results (data) and then
your analysis of those results.

Even if you do not have all of your results,
you can write about what you have so
that you can get it critiqued by a teacher
before the final draft that gets graded.
Your Third Draft
Immediately after methods, present the
data collected in the experiment in tables
and/or graphs;
 AND summarize the data in paragraph
form.
 Include statistical analysis of the data this is the analysis (averaging, standard
deviation, etc.) of the data.
 Raw data is placed in the appendix in
table form.

Results Section
The raw data for the red ripe plum tomatoes showed pH values
ranging from 4.12 to 4.46. The raw data for the canned red tomatoes
showed pH values ranging from 4.27 to 4.45. The raw data for the canned
red roma tomatoes showed pH values ranging from 4.17 to 4.26. For a
complete table of the raw data, see Appendix B.
The mean pH for the red ripe plum tomato was 4.33+/-0.10. The
mean pH for the canned red plum tomatoes was 4.36+/-0.09 and the mean
pH for the canned roma tomatoes was 4.20+/-0.03. The canned plum
tomatoes had the highest average pH and the canned roma tomatoes had
the lowest average pH. The fresh red plum tomatoes’ pH was lower than the
canned version.

Figure One illustrates that there is an overlap between confidence
intervals of fresh red plum tomatoes, the canned red plum tomatoes, and the
canned red roma tomatoes. This is interpreted to mean that the fresh red
plum tomatoes pH values are not significantly different from the canned red
plum tomatoes’ values and the canned red plum tomatoes’ pH values are not
significantly different from the canned red roma tomatoes’ values.

Immediately after the results section is the
finale of your paper.
Your discussion should flow smoothly and
logically from your results. BE THOROUGH!
A complete discussion should include the
questions on the next slide.
Lastly, in a final paragraph, briefly summarize
your entire experiment – the conclusion.
Make sure not to introduce anything in
this section that has not already been
discussed in your background
information. Be specific, do not
generalize.
Discussion/Conclusion
Separate page
Put a centered header on this page.
Include critical information that is too
lengthy for the main section of the paper,
such as raw data, additional tables and
graphs, copies of surveys or tests,
construction details and diagrams of
specialized equipment.
 Not all of you will have this section –
depends on equipment used in
experiment and data collected – See your
teacher for more information.

Appendix
If you have more than one appendix, label
them Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. and
place them on separate pages.
 For your table of Contents, they can be
listed separately by letter or all together
