What is The R.E.R.U.N. Method for Writing a Scientific Conclusion?

The R.E.R.U.N. method of writing a scientific conclusion is based on the following:

• Restate – What was the aim of the experiment?
• Explain – What was the experiment trying to find out?
• Results – What are the results of the experiment?
• Uncertainty – What were the uncertainties, errors, or uncontrolled variables?
• New – What did you learn, and how can you take this knowledge further?
