1. Title page
The practice for report titles in most disciplines is to state, as briefly as possible, the focus of the observation or experiment.
In addition, mentioning the more important dependent and independent variables is likely to add clarity to the statement. For example:
| "A comparison of the efficacy of fertilisers x, y and z for increasing the size of Roma tomatoes." |
OR |
| "Effect of time of day on the physical activity levels of Year 6 boys." |
 |
The title not only informs the reader about the content but also sets the tone of the writer's approach to presenting the information. Tone refers to the 'mood' you create in your writing with the use of specific language and punctuation. It can be formal or informal, as well as serious, humorous, cynical, or other.
When giving your report a title, you should carefully consider the immediate impression you want your work to create in the mind of your reader.
