'''Laboratory reports''', commonly referred to as lab reports, are [[science|scientific]] papers that enable researchers to communicate their findings with others, e.g. findings such as results of scientific [[experiment]]s. Another important function of lab reports is the record-keeping of experiments. This allows other researchers to examine or to duplicate the experiment.

====Abstract====
Abstract is a miniature of the report of about 100-200 words. It summarises the whole report. Therefore it's the part that has to be written last. A smaller and more informal lab report may not require an abstract.

====Introduction====

'''Purpose'''
<br>
Explains what the experiment is trying to find out as well as the experiment's significance. Sometimes there is also a brief mention of the method used in the experiment.
'''Theory'''<br>
Explains the theory or prinples on which the experiment is based and past findings by other researchers and scientists. Any symbols or variables used in the report must be defined here. A diagram may be needed for that.

====Equipment, Materials or Apparatus, if any====
