Open a word-processing program on your computer.
In a new document, center the cursor at the top of the document's page. Type the report's title on the first line. Psych Web suggests the title of the lab report should be a short statement of no more than 50 characters that tells about the main topic presented. It should also identify the main variables of the report, along with the topic investigated. Use only capital letters when writing the title. An example title may be, "THE EFFECTS OF SUGAR IN GERBILS."
Type your name and the names of your lab partners immediately under the title, centered on the page. The name of the report's author or the person that did the most work should have her name listed first. Under the first name, the name of the lab partner follows.
Move the cursor down a couple of lines on the document and type the date the lab report is due.
Move the cursor down a couple more lines on the document and type the name of the course. On the line immediately following, type the name of the professor, and type the course number under his name.
If required, add the abstract to the end of the title page. Align the text to the left side of the document. The abstract should list the reason for doing the experiment, the findings, reasons why the experiment was significant and a main conclusion. Abstracts should only contain one paragraph of no more than 100 words, and may include information about a method or theory used or examined.
