Should an Scientific essay includes illustrations , subheadings and flow charts? What should be the ideal method/ pattern of going about writing it in a better way?
Headings and subheadings are nice, but we can take the alternative, it is the paragraphs. Regards

In conclusion, writing a scientific essay differs from writing other types of papers. A scientific essay requires you to produce an article which has all the information and facts about the subject matter and it ought to be to the point. Nonetheless, the scientific essay formats similar to the format of any other essay: introduction, body, and conclusion. You need to use your outline to guide you through the writing process.
(citation from the 2nd link).
Science is very wide range & without knowing the topic of this wide subject it is difficult to draw a line of demarcation .
This is my personal opinion
Plan your essay effectively: Make sure you understand the title, write down definitions of key terms, take notes when reading, only pick key information to include, find examples or evidence to demonstrate findings. Group your main points into a logical structure, writing topic sentences for each paragraph.

How Do I Write Like a Scientist?
Research: The most effective writers will have researched their topic in-depth. Get a subscription to an age-appropriate scientific journal such as the Young Scientist Journal, listen to the Science Weekly Guardian podcast, read journal articles: sciencejournalforkids.org, watch Ted Ed talks on scientific topics.
Plan your essay effectively: Make sure you understand the title, write down definitions of key terms, take notes when reading, only pick key information to include, find examples or evidence to demonstrate findings. Group your main points into a logical structure, writing topic sentences for each paragraph. You could also structure your essay with subheadings - plan the structure for these to ensure your argument flows logically from beginning to end.
Write clearly and concisely: Your writing should be simple and direct, not flowery and overly complex. No metaphors or long sentences.
Be analytical & critical: A successful piece of scientific writing will bring together facts, analyse them and support with evidence. The analysis is the most important bit - do not cite evidence without analysing it, give your opinion, and make sure you link your analysis back to the question at hand.
Diagrams: You may like to illustrate findings with a diagram or two. Make sure they link to your argument, and research how to properly reference them.
Logic & reasoning is almost as important as actual conclusions - demonstrate your logical thinking process in your writing - think through the problem at hand and map out your solution.
Structuring the Essay
Introduction: The introduction is often the most difficult section to write. Begin with a thesis statement (your key argument in answer to the question), define key words and lay out how your argument will progress through the essay (what will you say in each paragraph?)
Main body: Use subheadings or divide your essay into sections as in a Scientific textbook. This will make it easier for you to structure your writing and is a common method used by scientists. Make sure your argument is coherent and has a logical flow from beginning to end. Refer to the question throughout.
Conclusion: Refer back to the title and summarise your argument.
Diagrams: Draw these in pencil, correctly label and fit them into the text of your essay e.g. "Fig 1 shows...". Take a picture of your diagrams and insert into your essay on the computer.
Referencing: Learn how to reference articles and books, it is important to acknowledge sources. Normally these are footnoted in the main body of the essay and recorded in a short bibliography at the end.
