Abstract - An abstract is a concise summary of a research paper or entire thesis.
It is an original work. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by
itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper. It should
be between 150 – 300 words long. It should include what the purpose of the paper
is (including the basic research question/problem), the basic design of your project,
and the major findings.

Introduction - A general introduction to your topic and what you expect to learn
from your project or experiment. Your research question should be found here.

Literature Review: An analysis of what has already been published about your
chosen topic. Should be able to show how your research question fits into the
context of your field.

Methods:
A description of everything you did in your experiment or project, step-by-step.
Needs to be detailed enough so that any reader would be able to repeat each step
exactly on their own.
Results:
What actually happened during your project or what you found at the end of your
experiment. This is usually the best part to include the majority of your graphs,
photos, tables, and other visual aids, as long as they help explain the results of your
work.

Discussion:
An analysis of the results that integrates what you found into the wider body of
research in your field. Can also include future hypotheses to be tested or future
projects to build from your own.

Conclusion:
Can be included in the discussion if necessary. A final summary of the paper,
including whether or not you were able to answer your original research question.

References and Appendices:


The reference page(s) is a list of all the sources you used to research and create
your project/experiment, including everything cited in the literature review and
methods sections. Remember to use the same citation style throughout the paper.
An appendix would include any additional information about your work that you
were not able to include within the body of your paper (like large datasets and
figures) that would help readers better understand your results.
