Pictures

For today's lesson, amke sure that you have written all sections of your report so that you meet all the pass criteria on the assignment sheet. 
Secondly, make sure you use some photos from the L3 btec folder under my name on the science shared area. Check everything carefully before you print it out to save paper.

Writing up experiments

For today, we will be writing up your results tables and filling out discussions and conclusions.  Include the following points and make sure that your other sections are completed.

1. Results - Include a table of results, and describe what your results showed.
2. Discussion - Answer the following questiosn in your discussion:

• Are you confident in your results or not? Why?
• What could you have done to improve your tests?
• Do your results agree or disagree with other similar experiments?

3. Conclusion - Referring to your hypothesis, say whether your results support or disagree with your hypothesis. Explain the general trends in your results.

Experiment research

For today, the first job is to make sure that you have your experiment written up as explained below.
Make sure you write out the

• Null hypothesis
• Materials
• Method
• Expected results (use the internet to research this, it will help you spot any anomalies in your own results)
• Results table

Type your work up so you can print it and leave it in your assignment pocket.
For the results table, you obviously can't fill it in yet but you can plan what it will look like.
