As a header to the paper include the names of the researcher (past and current), faculty research advisor, and other relevant student researchers and/or collaborators, the name and page numbers of the lab notebook(s) where the research is described, the dates when the work was done.
Introduction
State the motivation for the project in terms of current literature. This section can be largely copied from an earlier report(s), if they exist, but it is expected that this section is edited to include newly found background information. Note: if the author of previous reports is included as a contributor to the project, you may cut and paste text; this is not plagiarism.
Materials and Methods
This section describes experiments done during the period covered by the report. Usually, this work will be similar or identical to that described in the prior report, if they exists. Any new experiments will be written up and added to the experimental section.
Results
This section documents the results of the experiments done during the period covered by the report. Tabulation of data is encouraged; representative spectra presented.
Discussion
In this section, you will discuss the results of their work in context of the literature and the results of earlier reports. Questions that have been raised in earlier reports may be addressed here.
