Concisely introduce the general area being investigated.

2. Any variables mentioned here should be further elaborated on in the body paragraphs. It should end by planting a seed as to what the more narrow focus of your study will be.
3. Review relevant research for each variable in the body of your introduction. For this lab report, the body of your literature review should contain two to three paragraphs, however the number of body paragraphs may depend on the number of variables involved or the complexity of your study.
4. Introduce theoretical perspectives and previous research specific to your topic from which your hypotheses will be derived. Outline the findings of these previous studies that verify these theories. Additionally, outline findings of previous studies that contradict these theories(present evidence for both sides of the argument; good scientific research should be balanced and consider all possibilities).
5. Identify problems or shortcomings of the past research that will be addressed by your study. Make sure to only provide enough detail to show how the study was conducted and highlight their principal findings. The information provided in these body paragraphs should lead logically to your aim and hypotheses.
