Science Laboratory Format
Writers in the field of biology must consider not only the form
but the style of writing in biology papers.
As in all fields, there are conventions to follow or typical style
formats of the discipline.
Writing in the sciences is concise, yet provides sufficient detail
to allow the reader to follow the author’s
argument.
A research article or lab report is also frequently written in first
person and in an active voice. For exam-

6. ple, rather than stating, “Bird songs were collected using…”, it
is less cumbersome and more direct to
state, “I collected bird songs using…”. That said, be sure to
clarify with your professor, as some prefer
third-person and passive voice.
Components of a Biology Lab Report
The following is a standard and general format.
A research article or lab report in Biology can be recognized by
the following components.
Title
The title should incorporate the purpose of the study as well as
key words on the topic. For example, if
your purpose was to offer an assessment or a comparison, these
words might appear in the title. If the
object of study was a particular species or experiment, these
objects would appear in the title.
Abstract
You should provide a very brief summary of the entire
document. The main idea from each section of the
paper should be included. Using a sentence or two, you should
highlight each of the following:
o rationale/importance;

7. o objectives/hypotheses;
o how the study was conducted (methodology);
o main findings;
o conclusions.
Introduction
You should draw on relevant published work to provide the
following:
o Background to justify your objectives, hypotheses, and
predictions;
o Statements of your objectives, hypotheses and predictions;
o An explanation of why your study is important in the field.
Methods
You should provide enough detail such that the reader could
duplicate the methods of your study. You
should address several key questions:
o Where was the study performed?
o When was the study performed?
o On what organism/structure was the study performed?

8. o What instruments were used in the study?
o What was the experimental design?
o What variables were measured? (A variable refers to any
biological feature that may be manipulated
or observed. For example, arm length, eye colour and singing
rate are all variables.)
o What controls were used? (In experimental design, when
manipulating a variable to test for a re-
sponse, a control must also be performed where no
manipulations are made. Data obtained from controls
allow us to determine whether the results we obtained through
manipulation were due to the experiment
or some other factor.)
o What statistics were used to analyze your data?
Use figures, flow-charts and tables to help illustrate locations
and complicated experimental designs. Re-
fer to these illustrative tools within the text.
Example: "I studied the mating behaviour of song sparrows on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Figure
1)”.
Results
You should summarize the measurements you obtained in your

9. study. Typically you should not provide
the raw data, but instead present trends and statistics from your
analyses (i.e., means, variance, p-val-
ues). Example: Male birds sing at a higher rate in June (mean
10.8±1.5 calls/min) than in July (mean
4.3±1.2 calls/min; χ2 = 1.5, p < 0.05).
Be sure to include figures and tables to illustrate major
findings. Also be sure to refer to figures and ta-
bles within the text.
DO NOT INTERPRET RESULTS. Leave this for the discussion.
Discussion
You should discuss what your results mean with respect to your
hypotheses and the field of interest.
Consider the following questions:
o Do your results support your hypotheses?
o What are possible causes of the observed patterns?
o Are there alternative explanations for the observed patterns?
o How do your results compare to other studies?
o What were some of the limitations of your study?

10. o What are the implications of your study?
SUPPORT YOUR WORK WITH RELIABLE SOURCES
Literature Cited
You should provide the complete references for all sources cited
in your paper. Unlike other disciplines
that strictly follow prescribed formats such as MLA or APA, the
exact format of references in Biology is
commonly The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and
Publishers: Scientific Style and Format. Therefore,
instructors will often indicate which writing style you should
use in your own paper or report.
