Abstract. This is the abstract of the paper. The abstract briefly summarizes the main results and methodology in the research or experiment. It should not contain details of the result especially data. Main conclusion is stated in the abstract. Abstract should be italicized. Keywords: expansion, aluminum, copper, resistance, coefficient, temperature

Introduction Discuss the basis for the experiment including some theoretical background leading to the problem being investigated. Observe proper format as suggested in this template. Paragraphs are Justified (alignment) and separated by single empty lines. Font is 10/11 point Times New Roman/Tahoma/Verdana. Section headings are in bold. Margin in all four sides is 0.5 inches and the two columns are spaced 0.5 inches apart. Clearly state and define the problem and its importance or applications. If equations are used in the analysis of the experiment results, discuss it here in the first part of the paper. Derive the equations if necessary or cite your references where the equations are obtained. Also include a discussion on the possible outcomes of the experiment and their implications on our understanding of nature. Materials and Method This part of the paper details the procedure employed in the experiment including the theoretical basis for such procedure. Do not present the procedure as a list of steps but in paragraph form. Do not copy the step by step procedure from the laboratory manual. Describe the setup of the experiment using a diagram. Properly label your diagrams and describe the materials used in the setup. Take a photo of the set up. Explain the function or role of each material. Results Before discussing the main results, write about your actual experiences in the conduct of the experiment especially on problems encountered in measurement, setting up of the experiment, recording and gathering of data. Also include your comments on the design of the experiment.

Present the results using a diagram or a table. In presenting a table, do not show every data you gathered. Instead, make a table summary of data containing only those values needed in discussing the result in relation to the principle or problem being investigated. Actual data sheets are attached as appendices in the formal report. Do not include answers to the Guide Questions. Answers to Guides Questions shall be submitted on the day of the exam. Discussion Before starting your discussion, restate the problem being solved and/or the principle being explored. Make sure to relate the discussion to the original problem you are solving.
