Abstract
The abstract should contain a brief
description of the experiment and the results
obtained. Three to four sentences will be
enough for an abstract.
I. Introduction
You may include a bit of history here
or some practical applications of the
experiment that you performed. Cite your
sources properly to avoid plagiarism.[1] Do
not forget to state the objectives of your
experiment at the end of the introduction.
The formatting for the entire
document includes font (Times New
Roman), font size (12; except for
figure/graph/table captions), font color
(Black), margins (1 inch all sides), page size
(letter), and paragraph (2 columns). All
figures/graphs/tables should be within
column width. Page number should be
placed at the bottom right of the document.
V = f
where V is the velocity of sound (m/s), is
the wavelength (m) and f is the frequency of
sound (Hz). You can mention units used in
the formulas that were mentioned.
III. Methodology
This portion of your report should
include the materials used, a simple but
exact description of the steps you have taken
in doing the experiment as well as the
experimental set-up. The steps should be in
paragraph form and in the third person past
tense. All important parts of the
experimental set-up must be properly
labelled.
II. Theory
This part of your report should
contain the theory behind the experiment.
You can mention here some definitions if
you deem it appropriate. Include all the
equations/formula that you used. Identify all
the symbols used in the equations. All
equations/formulas should be properly
labelled and captioned as shown in
