This is the guidelines for the lab report.
Abstract:
< results of the research. Write this summary last.>>
Introduction:
< were writing a lab report describing experiments demonstrating an effective new
treatment for Parkinson’s disease, you’d want to write about Parkinson’s disease: what
it is, how one gets it, current treatments, etc. Your report should draw from several
sources and cite references in MLA format. The introduction should also BRIEFLY

Some ideas for what to cover in the introduction include:
• The background of DNA, how it was discovered
• The role of DNA in the body
• The importance of DNA in genetic testing, criminal cases, etc.
• Think of this section as a mini report
There are faxes for this order.
