Question: To Use the introduction to build up to your hypothesis and blatantly state "We hypothesized that..." You can mention rationale for the studies, but are not required to. The important thing is that you must not be too detailed or too general but it is tricky to find the right balance between the two. You are just learning, and I understand that, so I try not to nit-pick too much with the balance of information. However, DO NOT go into the theory behind techniques used and DO NOT start with basic biology information like "The smallest unit of life is the cell" or "DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid."
The introduction provides background pertinent to understanding the experimental results. It needs to be concise, yet informative. DO NOT provide background information that is not directly related to the experimental results.
i.e. Lynn Margulis hypothesizing the evolutionary origin of mitochondria is interesting but will not help us understand an SDH assay.
Your introduction must include a hypothesis. I suggest you make it the very last sentence. Make it obvious that it is your hypothesis, and make it a good one.
Hypotheses should NOT be about what the results would look like or a known scientific fact.
the experiment was about organic molecules and macromolecules, we did Benedict's test, lugol's test and biuret's test for indicating carbohydrates, protein and lipids.
Your first assignment in the scientific writing category is to write the introduction to this week's experiments. Your hypothesis should be about what macromolecules will be in the unknown food. Be sure that background information is relevant to what we did and starts out broad, narrowing down to the hypothesis.
Citations (both in-text and a works cited) are required!
Cite all background information. Citations go in parentheses INSIDE the punctuation. Use relevant literature! Don't just cite the first thing you find on the internet.
Do not EVER (no, never) use quotations in scientific writing! PARAPHRASE the information and cite the source in parentheses. TurnItIn will be used, if you are unsure if you have paraphrased enough, ask!
