Write an abstract, stating the original scientific problem or question you asked and emphasizing the methods and results utilized in the study. Compose a summary of the paper, about 150 words long, informing the reader of its most basic and central elements.
Draft an introduction, acquainting the reader with the background material relevant to the scientific experiment. Cite any previous work that has been done in the same field and is relevant to the work you have done. Indicate the purpose of your own experiment and its importance to the field. Keep the introduction brief.
Create a methods section. Lay out the details of how you carried out the experiment from the beginning to the end of the project. For example, explain to your reader how you measured your materials, the environment you created for the project, and the method you used for enacting the experiment.

Use the conclusion section of the paper to clearly state whether your hypothesis was sustained, rejected or remains uncertain given the available data. Answer your original question or problem. State only conclusions concerning the data about which you are confident. Differentiate between your own scientific data and the data of previous work; cite other studies to emphasize why the research is central to the field under investigation. Use the conclusion to suggest modifications to the study for future investigations to get more conclusive results.
Include a "Literature Cited" page at the end of the scientific paper. This section is essential to any reputable scientific paper in English to avoid plagiarism and give credit to past work. Use a common citation format for scientific papers, such as the Council of Biology Editors (CBE) style.
