How to Write the Results Section

Be brief when writing your results. If a lab has more than one finding, report the findings under separate subheadings. Typically, in the results, you present the numerical data of your findings. Be sure not to include details about how you performed a lab. Instead, report only the outcome(s). For example, "The results of the three tests are x, y, and z."
