Scientific reports present experimental data and conclusions that convince or dissuade others of the preliminary hypothesis. Sometimes reports are recorded for future scientists and researchers. To write a scientific report introduction, you must thoroughly conceptualize and present the main purpose and objective behind the research. With the background presented, the reader should clearly understand the rest of the report just by reading the introduction. The introduction is like the first impression you present to someone, whether it be a researcher, member of the media or your teacher, so writing a strong one is imperative to the ultimate message and conclusion.
