ME Laboratory 1 Experiment Report Format

1. Title Page
a. The title of the experiment. (Bold)
Example: “ Area Measurement Using a Polar Compensating Planimeter ”
b. Your name and section(block).
c. Your instructor's name.
d. The date the experiment was performed or the date the report was submitted.

2. Introduction / Purpose
Usually the Introduction is one paragraph that explains the objectives or purpose of the experiment. In one
sentence, state the hypothesis. Sometimes an introduction may contain background information, briefly summarize
how the experiment was performed, state the findings of the experiment, and list the conclusions of the
investigation. Even if you don't write a whole introduction, you need to state the purpose of the experiment, or
why you did it. This would be where you state your hypothesis.
Hypothesis - a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further
investigation.

3. Materials
List everything needed to complete your experiment.
4. Methods
Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. This is your procedure. Be sufficiently detailed that
anyone could read this section and duplicate your experiment. Write it as if you were giving direction for someone
else to do the experiment. It may be helpful to provide a Figure to diagram your experimental setup.
5. Data
Numerical data obtained from your procedure usually is presented as a table. Data encompasses what you
recorded when you conducted the experiment. It's just the facts, not any interpretation of what they mean.
6. Figures & Graphs
Graphs and figures must both be labeled with a descriptive title. Label the axes on a graph, being sure to include
units of measurement. The independent variable is on the X-axis. The dependent variable (the one you are
measuring) is on the Y-axis. Be sure to refer to figures and graphs in the text of your report. The first figure is
Figure 1, the second figure is Figure 2, etc.

7. Results and Analysis


The Data section contains numbers. Describe in words what the data means. The Analysis section contains any
calculations you made based on those numbers. This is where you interpret the data and determine whether or not
a hypothesis was accepted. This is also where you would discuss any mistakes you might have made while
conducting the investigation. You may wish to describe ways the study might have been improved.
8. Conclusions
Most of the time the conclusion is a single paragraph that sums up what happened in the experiment, whether your
hypothesis was accepted or rejected, and what this means.
9. References
If your research was based on someone else's work or if you cited facts that require documentation, then you
should list these references.

All reports shall be presented in accordance with the following standards


1. Typed, 12 point font, 1.5 spacing
2. Complete and properly organized (use format)
3. Proper mechanics (acceptable spelling, grammar, punctuation, calculation, capitalization and complete sentence)
4. Heading for each section.
