Lucy Said:

Should the Method/Procedure in a Lab Report be written in past tense, present tense or passive voice?

We Answered:

The method/procedure should be written in present tense and not in first person. Method and procedure section is more outlining the details of how to replicate an experiment, if need be, therefore, it's a little bit like "How to" section.

Edna Said:

Plz tell me procedure of historical report writing and its advantages and disadvantages?

We Answered:

The disadvantages are that someone like Piers Anthony might be required to cover the history told from a European perspective by a series of fiction novels called The Geo Odyssey series.
The last of which is called The Human Climate.
Also before Europeans came after Columbus in 1492 the preceding times are referred to as pre-history though people had been living in North America prior contact.
Any library books or libraries or wriiten language on part of North Americans did not receive mention.
Exception of recorded history are the Aztecs and Mayans. The first in what would become Mexico and the other in what would become Guatamala where U.S. backed Death squads murdered more indiginous people in 1980's long after people thought that behavior was over in the 19th Century and that Manifest Destiny stuff was over. Now Manifest Destiny is called Free Trade and Globalization so perhaps name changes but not purpose, Similar said to occur in India with rural inhabitants kicked off land for ore reserves and other minerals and so car dealerships can be put on their bulldozed homes.

Stella Said:

what kind of information goes into a report of research for a science proj.?does it assume i have a procedure?

We Answered:

They standard format that I am most familiar with is as follows:

1. Abstract - Overview of the entire experiment including results in less than 100 words.

2. Hypothesis - A single sentence stating what you THINK the results will be.

3. Introduction - Give background information on the experiment...what others have found out. Tell why you are doing the experiment and what you plan to do.

4. Methods/Materials - LIST the materials you will use. BE SPECIFIC. Give the step by step methods that you use in your experiment. (This will look like a recipe.)

5. Data gathered - Write the results of your experiment in words.

6. Analysis - Explain what the results mean.

7. Graph - Graph the results if possible.

8. Conclusion - Recap why you did the experiment. Give an brief overview of your results. Relate your ACTUAL results to your Hypothesis. Include in this section anything that might have messed up your results. (Ex: I spilled my chemicals and used them anyway.)


IT IS DIFFICULT BUT NEVER USE PERSONAL PRONOUNS LIKE "I" "WE" "YOU"...etc...
Hope that helps.

Julian Said:

writing procedure in past tense?

We Answered:

Use the passive tense in the past.

In the lab, the liquid was poured.....
Rather than say "I" or "we," you say the object and what was done to it.

The flame was lit, the box was opened, the formula was mixed, It looked green, Ten minutes later, the experiment was over.
