 How to write the report of the investigatory project?

Front Page / Cover Page

• In this page you will have to write the Title of the project or name of the project.
• It also should contain other information such as the name of the student; roll
number; subject name ,name of the guide teacher/supervisor along with his/her
designation; School name and address.

Certificate

• This will be the second page in your project report.

• This page will contain a certificate that will certify your project.
• It will have information like your project title, your name, roll number, guide
teacher’s name, school name, etc, along with space for school stamp and
signature of the guide teacher, external practical examiner, principal.

Acknowledgement

• This is typically the third page that acknowledges individuals that have played a
direct or indirect role in completing your project work.
• You should put your full signature at the end of this page.

Table of Contents

• This is the fourth page containing all the major headings and subheadings of
your project.
• It should contain the respective page numbers also.

Objective / Aim of the project

• This page expresses the aim of the project as clearly as possible.

• If the investigatory project aims to achieve more than one objective, then all
those objectives are mentioned in this page.
Introduction / Theory

• This should give a general idea of the project that you have worked on and
should introduce the reader to your project.
• You should also mention all the necessary concepts that are associated with your
project.

Materials required

• In this page all the materials or apparatus used are mentioned.

• You should write this in the form of a simple list.

Procedure

• In a simple manner, write the steps that you have followed during your
experiment.
• You may include a diagram or photo of the experimental setup.

Observation / Result

• Once the experiment is performed you should record your observations.

• You can represent your observations in the form of a table or chart or text or
picture or a combination of these.

Analysis and interpretation

• Based on the observations, analyze your data.

Limitation:

• Mention if there are any limitations of the project or the experiments that you
have performed.
• It is not essential to include.

Precaution

• Mention all the precautions that should be followed during the experiment.
Conclusion:

• Based on the results obtained and related work done, write the conclusion briefly.
• You may also write whether the objectives of your project have been met or not.

Bibliography / References

• This should be the last page of your project write up.

• Here you should mention all the resources that you have used in terms of
articles/books while working on the project.
• If you are giving reference to a book, it must contain the name of the author,
publisher, year of publication.
• If you are giving reference to an article, it must contain the web address (URL)
and the date when you had accessed the website.

How to write the project report in case of a theory based investigatory project?
When you are working on only a theory based investigatory project, the project report
should be slightly different than the above mentioned format.

In such cases material required, procedure, observation, results, analysis, discussion,

limitation, precautions will not be part of the project report.

After the Introduction heading, there should be an elaborate representation of the

theory.

The theory should be divided into various topics and subtopics. It can include
diagrams/info-graphics related to the topic.

Once the theory is completed, the project report should wrap up with the conclusion
and bibliography page.

❖ Use Spring action file (A4) only.
