The procedure section is for you to convince the reader that you carried out the experiment knowledgeably and carefully. Think of the reader as someone who is unfamiliar with the procedures carried out in the experiment. Do not copy the experimental procedure from your lab manual or give the reader instructions. If you copy the laboratory manual instructions, the person reading your report will feel as though they are being ordered to do something.
