Results: Describe in words what the data means. Sometimes the Results section is

combined with the Discussion (Results & Discussion).

Discussion or Analysis: The Data section contains numbers. The Analysis section

contains any calculations you made based on those numbers. This is where you interpret

the data and determine whether or not a hypothesis was accepted. This is also where you

would discuss any mistakes you might have made while conducting the investigation.

You may wish to describe ways the study might have been improved.

Conclusions: Most of the time the conclusion is a single paragraph that sums up what

happened in the experiment, whether your hypothesis was accepted or rejected, and what

this means.

Figures and Graphs: Graphs and figures-must-both-be-labeled with a descriptive title.

Label the axes on a graph, being sure to include units of measurement. The independent

variable (frequency, in our experiment) is on the X-axis. The dependent variable (the one

you are measuring) is on the Y-axis (VSWR, Reactance, Resistance). Your antenna

pattern data will be plotted azimuthally, dB vs rotation angle on polar plot paper or using

plotting software. Be sure to refer to figures and graphs in the text of your report. The

first figure is Figure 1, the second figure is Figure 2, etc.
