Your results section should start off with a key findings paragraph or paragraphs, NOT a visual aid. This paragraph(s) should only contain results, not any discussion or interpretation of those results. Just the facts!

This paragraph(s) should be clear, accurate, concise yet thorough, and well-organized
This paragraph(s) should be written in point-support style. This means that below this paragraph, you are going to be supplying some sort of display of data (tables, graphs, figures, etc.), and each one of those displays should be cited in your key findings paragraph. For example: “as seen in Figure 1, as the temperature of the reaction mixture was increased, the time it took for a color change to occur decreased”. If a representation does not warrant mentioning, then it does not belong in your lab report!
