Answer 2

An abstract is the second thing anyone will look at in a scientific paper or a science project, after the title. The abstract tells the reader a little background about why the experiment was done, the hypothesis, and the results and conclusion. It is pretty much a summary of the entire experiment, letting the reader know if they should take the time to read further into it. It is usually written last, as it takes a little from every section of the paper/experiment.

Answer 3

In a scientific paper, an abstract is a short introduction, usually about 50 words, saying what you set out to find out, and what your results were, at the beginning of your paper.

======================

Any speech or written report is made up of three parts:

#1). Tell them what you're going to tell them.

#2). Tell them what you want to tell them.

#3). Tell them what you have just told them.

In the report on a science fair project, the abstract is the #1 part . . .

Tell them what you're going to tell them.

It fits best at the very beginning of the report.
