Discussion
Your discussion
is the single most important part of your report. In it, you will show
your reader that you understand the experiment and can interpret it. Analyze
and explain your results, focusing your attention on questions like these:
- What
results were expected? What results were obtained? If there were any
discrepancies, how can you account for them?
- Do
any of your results have particular technical or theoretical interest?
- How
do your results relate to your experimental objective(s)?
- How
do your results compare to those obtained in similar investigations?
- What
are the strengths and limitations of your experimental design?
- If
you encountered difficulties in the experiment, what were their sources?
How might they be avoided in future experiments?
