here are some tip to help you out
TYPES OF CONCLUSIONS
1. Restatement of main idea. The main idea may be re-emphasized or reinforced If you choose this type of conclusion; however' be sure not to merely repeat your thesis. You not only should vary the wording so that your conclusion is not too similar to your introduction but should also try to get beyond your thesis statement-to express an appropriate conclusion and to give your reader a sense of closure.
2. General impression. If your essay is basically a description of an experience or of some person, place, or thing, an effective conclusion might consist of a statement of the dominant impression you have attempted to convey. For example, if your essay about your high school is largely a description of what occurred to you when you were there, you might conclude with what you remember most clearly about the whole experience.
3. Evaluation. An essay may also conclude with a judgment based on the information presented. For example, you might end an essay on your high school by evaluating whether the experience was essentially negative or positive.
4. Recommendation. An essay can be concluded with a suggestion for some action the writer feels should be taken. This type of conclusion is especially appropriate if the main idea is a controversial statement or one that is persuasive in nature. For example, you might conclude your essay about your high school's discipline problems by recommending that a new administration be hired or a new school board be elected.
5. Prediction. Even though a conclusion is the final part of an essay, it can be used to make a prediction on the basis of the major points made in the essay. This prediction should be closely related to the content of the essay, giving a reasonable explanation of what may happen. For example, you might predict in the conclusion to your essay about your high school's problems that the school will be closed down in the near future.
Regardless of the type of conclusion you choose for your essay, the conclusion should re-emphasize your thesis. It should also be a clear signal to your reader that you have completed what you had to say. Following are some suggestions that will be helpful to you in writing conclusions.
SUGGESTIONS FOR WRITING EFFECTIVE CONCLUSIONS
1. Do not contradict the point you have made.
2. Do not introduce a new topic or new information.
3. Do not conclude with a cliché ("You can't teach an old dog new tricks" ).
4. Do not apologize for lack of knowledge, ability, or resources.
5. Do not use obvious transition words or phrases such as in conclusion, in'summary, and as I have attempted to show. You may, however, use less obvious transition words, such as therefore, finally, andconsequently.
6. Do make your conclusion brief and to the point.
7. Do make the tone (serious, humorous, clever, straightforward, etc.) consistent with the overall tone of your essay.

you conclude a lab report by restating your findings, and the steps involved in getting them. for example, we did ......... test to prove that ......... would happen, or something along those lines. it's just like a concluding pragraph in an essay, just re-state the thoery, the steps involved, and what you found out.
