Ok well you're in England so i can probably actually help - is this GCSE or A-level cos the format's different?

I'm guessing if you're not sure then that means GCSE in which case

4 sections
Plan - explain your title, how you're going to approach the problem, your hypothesis, any preliminaries you did and your method

Observations - a summary table containing your data, units should be in the column head and everything should be to the same number of d.ps

Analysis - Explain what your data shows. Describe any trends, draw graphs and try to explain them scientifically. State whether or not it agrees with your hypothesis

Evaluation - Look at reliability (how close are your results together - any anomalies?), accuracy (do they agree with what they scientificalyl should?), limitations of the practical (anything like inaccurate equipment that makes it harder to get good results) and explain further work that you plan to do

Hope that that helps!!
