Those sections are all in order.  You introduce the question/problem you are investigating, describe how you will do the experiment, report the actual results obtained from doing the experiment, then discuss your interpretation of the results.  Do they make sense?  Does the theory match the experimental results?  Have you demoNstrated what you set out to prove, or do the results suggest that a different theory might be appropriate?

In the coffee/cream experiment, the graphs were the results, but the discussion was where we decided what the experiment told us.

discussion was the correct answer
