Research Paper
A research paper should be prepared and available along with a project data book, and any necessary forms or relevant written materials. A research paper helps organize data as well as thoughts. A good paper includes the following sections:
Title page – title of the project must be brief, simple and catchy
Statement of problems/objectives – the nature & scope of the problem should be presented with clarity. Two types of objectives may stated:
General Objective – this is related to the problem as given in the early part of the section
Specific Objective – this states the purpose of each experiment conducted.
Methodology – provides enough details so that a competent worker can repeat the experiments
