Title • Not just Planarian Lab, but a descriptive title telling what YOUR lab is about.
Abstract • SUMMARY of your findings on the ability of the planaria to regenerate. Should include a brief description of experiment and your results.
Introduction • This section should include base information on planarians, their natural history, care and feeding, behavior etc. You could include pictures/diagrams of a planarian here.
Hypothesis • Often referred to as an “educated guess”. Your hypothesis should be written in an If/Then form. This is a simple cause and effect hypothesis, you are seeing what effect the then part of the hypothesis is caused by the If part of the hypothesis, if any effect is caused at all.
Materials and Methods • What you did and how you did it. Diagrams of what you did could be useful here.
Results • here is where you should put all of your data tables, graphs, charts, drawings, lab questions etc. Remember graphs need a title, and an X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis. In addition to the above remember that for your data to make sense it MUST HAVE UNITS! If someone said you would make 100 for an hours work you would ask 100 what? (the UNIT) Dollars, Cents etc.
Conclusion/Discussion/Error Analysis • In this section you write about what you learned from the experiment. This is your interpretation of the data, backed up with evidence from your planarian research.
