How to write a Discussion
The discussion section is probably the most difficult and challenging to write because you have to think carefully about
- the specific results you obtained in your experiment,
- relate them to the testable question
- interpret them: explain them
- and generalize from them: make a general conclusion about your project based on your data.
In this way you relate your own results to the store of scientific knowledge
| Stage 1 | Relate your results to the aims of the experiment. |
|---|---|
| Stage 2 | Summarise your results (can combine with Stage 1). |
| Stage 3 | Explain your results. Discuss the validity and accuracy of your results. Explain inconsistent or unexpected results. |
| Stage 4 | Identify problems in experimental technique and suggest improvements (can combine with Stage 3). |
| Stage 5 | State the significance or implications of your experimental findings and recommend areas of future research. |
How to write a Conclusion
Writing a Conclusion
Paragraph
A
conclusion paragraph is one of the most important parts of a lab report. The
conclusion paragraph contains a description of the purpose of the experiment, a
discussion of your major findings with a brief explanation, a statement about
the acceptance of your hypothesis, a discussion of errors in your experiment,
and recommendations for further study.
Address
the following ideas using paragraph form.
Be concise while answering the following questions and use transitions
to connect the ideas.
1. Restate
the purpose of the experiment (include independent (IV) and dependent (DV)
variables.)
One format: The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the
effect of the ____(IV)__________ on the _____(DV)__________
Example: The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the
effect of nitrogen fertilizer concentration on the growth of corn plants by comparing
the growth of corn plants subjected to varying concentrations of nitrogen based
fertilizer.
2.
What were the major findings? (Summarize your data and graph results)
Example: A significant difference existed between the height of fertilized
plants and non-fertilized plants. Plants
receiving 2% to 5% nitrogen fertilizer concentrations showed an increase in the
average height by10% over plants with <2% and >5% nitrogen fertilizer
concentrations. The average height of
the corn exposed to nitrogenous fertilizer concentrations between 2% and 5% was
22 cm and the average height of the plants exposed to nitrogenous fertilizer
concentrations <2% and >5% was
20cm.
3.
Was the hypothesis supported by the data?
One format: The hypothesis that (insert your hypothesis) was
(supported, partially supported, or not supported.) Do not use the word “prove” – we do
NOT prove hypotheses true in science.
Example: The hypothesis that nitrogenous fertilizer
concentration has no effect on plant height was not supported.
4. What
were your errors & how could this experiment be improved?
Example: This experiment was performed inside of a classroom
where the temperature was not constant.
Some plants were closer to the heat vent and may have been exposed to a
different temperature than other plants.
Perhaps this experiment could be improved by placing all plants equal
distance from the heat vent. The
experiment also relied on premixed fertilizer mixes. The mixes could have had incorrect
concentrations. This experiment could be
improved by testing the premade solutions to confirm the accuracy of the mix
concentrations..
NOT acceptable: This experiment would have been better if we had done it correctly – we
did sloppy work and made careless measurements.
NOT acceptable:
This experiment would have been better if we had more time to do more trials.
5.
What could be studied next after this experiment? What new experiment could continue study of
this topic?
Example: Additional investigations using additional
concentrations would be a good additional experiment. Also, other crops could be subjected to the
same experiment, such as beans and cucumbers.
Perhaps scientists could use additional fertilizer mixes with different
nutrients (e.g. phosphorous, potassium, etc).
