Your task:
Write the introduction to your lab report. Start with a general opening statement that introduces the reader to the topic. Describe the background research to the current experiment. Also make sure that you include definitions of all key terms.
State the link between the past research and the current research; how does the current experiment build on the past findings? Include the aim and hypotheses of the current experiment, and make sure that they logically follow on from the information described in the introduction.

Your introduction should be well-structured and all formatting should APA style (see https://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx for more information). Please spell-check your work before submitting.
