Biology Lab Reports: Lab Report Research Overview

What research information do you need when writing a lab report?

When writing your biology lab reports, you will need to do some research to build background knowledge about the scientific experiment that you will be conducting. This information will be used when you write the “Introduction” section of your lab report.

You will be looking for facts and information that will help you understand and explain:

1. the real-world context for the experiment
2. the scientific background and theory of the concepts

The purpose of this LibGuide is to help you find appropriate scholarly scientific information from sources that are peer-reviewed to support your lab report writing.
