Writing the "Summary Research Report"

 Science Fair Research Report
 
The written research report is a gathering of everything that you did to investigate the selected topic. It contains all the information you collected or learned during the weeks leading up to the actual experiment and science fair. It should be written from notes, personal interviews, and sources from the library and electronic media. Be sure to write this information in your own words and not that of the author.

The Research Summary Report should follow these rules:

  1. This written report provides observers with important data on the scope of a project as well as your understanding of the topic you are presenting.
  2. Write your report with an introductory paragraph, body paragraphs and a conclusion paragraph.
  3. Be sure to give credit where credit is due in your report. That means cite your sources in your bibliography! Use APA citation and double check the spelling in your paper. See homeowork help link for the Bibliography Citation machine and access to infotrac for electronic library access. Homework Help Page
