Question

What's the difference between discussion and conclusion in a prac report?

Answer 1

Discussion describes what you did - your procedure. Conclusion describes what was revealed by what you did.

Answer 2

They are often synonymous. "Discussion" applies to both original research and review papers. "Conclusion" is not used in review papers as often. If the report includes both a Discussion and a Conclusion, the Discussion should contain a brief summary of the experiment(s) and interpretation of the results. The conclusion should then be more of a "why this matters" section or statement of how the hypothesis was proven or disproven.
