Your Third DraftYour Third Draft
After your materials and methods section, you can add your results (data) and then your analysis of those results.
Even if you do not have all of your results, you can write about what you have so that you can get it critiqued by a teacher before the final draft that gets graded.
Results SectionResults Section
Immediately after methods, present the data collected in the experiment in tables and/or graphs;
AND summarize the data in paragraph form.
Include statistical analysis of the data - this is the analysis (averaging, standard deviation, etc.) of the data.
Raw data is placed in the appendix in table form.
The raw data for the red ripe plum tomatoes showed pH values
ranging from 4.12 to 4.46. The raw data for the canned red tomatoes showed
pH values ranging from 4.27 to 4.45. The raw data for the canned red roma
tomatoes showed pH values ranging from 4.17 to 4.26. For a complete table
of the raw data, see Appendix B.
The mean pH for the red ripe plum tomato was 4.33+/-0.10. The
mean pH for the canned red plum tomatoes was 4.36+/-0.09 and the mean
pH for the canned roma tomatoes was 4.20+/-0.03. The canned plum
tomatoes had the highest average pH and the canned roma tomatoes had the
lowest average pH. The fresh red plum tomatoes’ pH was lower than the
canned version.

Figure One illustrates that there is an overlap between confidence
intervals of fresh red plum tomatoes, the canned red plum tomatoes, and the
canned red roma tomatoes. This is interpreted to mean that the fresh red
plum tomatoes pH values are not significantly different from the canned red
plum tomatoes’ values and the canned red plum tomatoes’ pH values are not
significantly different from the canned red roma tomatoes’ values.
Discussion/ConclusionDiscussion/Conclusion
Immediately after the results section is the finale of your paper.
Your discussion should flow smoothly and logically from your results. BE THOROUGH!
A complete discussion should include the questions on the next slide.
Lastly, in a final paragraph, briefly summarize your entire experiment – the conclusion.

AppendixAppendix
Separate pagePut a centered header on this page. Include critical information that is too
lengthy for the main section of the paper, such as raw data, additional tables and graphs, copies of surveys or tests, construction details and diagrams of specialized equipment.
Not all of you will have this section – depends on equipment used in experiment and data collected – See your teacher for more information.
AppendixAppendix
If you have more than one appendix, label them Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. and place them on separate pages.
For your table of Contents, they can be listed separately by letter or all together
