Repeat Lab Report Title Here
The introduction of your lab report should contextualise the research problem. Start with an opening paragraph that introduces the reader to the topic and grabs their attention. Give some real-world examples and highlight the importance of studying the topic.
Note that the first line of each paragraph is indented. Describe the background literature in the body of the introduction: what have previous researchers done? Why did they do it and what did they find? How did they explain their results? Make sure that there is a clear connection between the past research and your current study. What was the reason for doing your study?
In the final paragraph, you should tell the reader the aim of your study and your hypothesis. Remember that your introduction should be no longer than 1000 words (1000 + 10% leeway). There is no minimum word count.
