Abstract— The primary function of the abstract is the theory section is to show how the raw data is

The abstract should answer the following questions: and origin. This section should include diagrams where

the data, analyzing the data, and generating graphs and
tables. All tables and figures should be accompanied by
comments or discussions in the text of report; use a
numbering system for identification of each one. All
figures and tables must have numbers and captions.
While the table captions should be placed over the table,
figure captions should be placed below the figure.

Calculations and formulas are not presented in this

section. Your calculations should be detailed in the
Appendices under SAMPLE CALCULATIONS.
Formulas should be discussed in the THEORY section.

Explain the results of the experiment, comment on the

shapes of the curves, compare obtained results with
expected results, give probable reasons for discrepancies
from the theory, answer any questions outlined in the
instructions and solve any problems that my have been
presented. Tell why things happened, not only that they
did happen. Experimental errors should be discussed
here. Use Appendices if the space of figure, table and etc
are not enough. For detailed calculation can be shown in
Appendices.

IV. CONCLUSION
Place your conclusions here. State your discoveries,
judgments and opinions from the results of this

A. Data Tables

Place your data tables here if available. Data tables are for the convenience of the extremely interested
reader. These tables may contain any additional comparisons or calculations that you have prepared.
RESULTS may contain only summaries of your work. Data Tables are the place to show everything that
you did.

B. Sample Calculations

Place your sample calculations here. Demonstrate how you performed the calculations made in the
experiment. Include tabular results of computations where such are made. Show the generic calculations
to support all your work.

C. Equipment List

Place your equipment list here. Every piece of equipment used in the experiment should be listed.

D. Raw Data Sheets

Attach your raw data sheets to the end of the report.
