In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a person's own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwang's group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?

Often, background information and purpose of the experiment will be found in your sciencetext. The introduction is also the place where you state your hypothesis.Procedure (sometimes called Materials and Methods): This section is importantas it explains to the reader exactly what you used to perform the experiment and how you did it.
