according to https://www.ffa.org/documents/agsci_resource_guide.pdf

Written Report

Title Page -  The title page should include 
the title of your project, your name, grade, school and school address. This should be all that 
appears on this page. The title itself should be no more than three lines with a 15 word 
maximum. Any numbers, chemical elements and compounds should be spelled out. All words 
should be capitalized except for articles such as “a” or “the” and prepositions such as “of,” “in,” 
“on,” “during” and “between;” and conjunctions such as “and” and “but” unless they are the 
first word of the title.

Table of Contents

Abstract - a brief summary of your paper, which concisely describes your purpose, methods, 
results and conclusion. Do not include the title in the abstract. Your abstract may include 
potential research applications or future research. The abstract should not contain cited 
references. It should be no longer than one page and in paragraph form.

Introduction - In several paragraphs, 
provide background on your subject. The introduction should clearly state the problem that 
justifies conducting the research, the purpose of the research, the findings of earlier work and 
the general approach and objectives. You must cite sources for statements that are not common 
knowledge. The last paragraph of the introduction includes the objectives of the study.

Review of Literature - should detail to the reader what information currently exists concerning 
your research project. Information listed in your review should be materials that you have used 
for your research. 

Materials & Methods - Write in third person, in past tense, encompass all of the materials

exactly what you discovered and what patterns, trends or relationships were observed.

Discussion & Conclusion - draw conclusions from the results of your study and relate them to the original hypothesis. It is helpful to briefly recap the results and use them as a foundation for your 
conclusions. If your results were not what you expected, take this opportunity to explain why. 
Give details about your results and observations by elaborating on the mechanisms behind what 
happened.
