Thanks ill take a shot at it again
Abstracts should be kept short and basically all you should do is state your hypothesis, a brief of your experiment/research and then state your conclusions. The most important points of an abstract are to clearly state your hypothesis and conclusions, because often people will only read the abstract of a scientific paper. If the abstract interests them then they'll read the entire publication/report, which will describe the experiment/research in full detail.
Key notes:
- Clearly state your hypothesis and conclusions
- Limit the amount of depth you go into describing your experiments/research
- Keep it short; one paragraph or less (just make sure it's to the point and not rambling)
*edit: As @BigGunz has stated, the abstract should always be the last thing you write in a publication/report

@BigGunz
I went on google searched up sample abstracts and everythin i cant seem to figure it out yet
[quote=Helot]abstract is basically a summary. Just summarize your research question, methods and findings in a paragraph[/quote]
We never actually had a question for this lab report
So basically all i do is just summarize everythin i did?
Introduction, purpose, hypothesis, materials, procedure, diagram, table results, graph results, conclusion, bibliography
