Note you may present your investigation however you like (poster, report, video etc....) -
HOWEVER if you are working in a pair you will need to be a little more creative with your submission (ie. produce a presentation for the class, or a documentary). Check with your teacher if unsure.
Title: Based on your research question
Introduction
This should be viewed as an opportunity to communicate any background information around your research question.
You should start broad, by:
- Giving relevant background information that readers will need to know before going on to understand your experiment.
- Defining any terms you think are relevant, such as any chemical formulas, structures or reactions that are important.
You should then specifically focus on your own experiment, covering:
- Your aim
- Your variables (independent, dependent and controlled)
- Any controls you have included
- Your hypothesis.
Methodology
Includes materials, method (step by step, numbered, past tense), and a summary of any safety hazards and precautions taken. May also include diagrams of experimental set up.
Results
Results should be displayed in a table and/or graph and may include qualitative data and photos. Relevant units should always be included. Data analysis also may be included (such as averages).
Discussion
Should include:
- A brief summary of your results overall
- Explanation of your results with reference to the underlying scientific concepts (this includes unexpected results too).
- An overall comment on the accuracy of your experiment. Were the results valid and accurate? Did they allow you to comprehensively meet your aim?
- Identification of any errors, how they impacted your results and specific suggestions to improve the method.
Conclusion
Should include:
- Whether the aim was met, and whether your original hypothesis was supported or rejected.
- Key results obtained.
- Any major limitations of your experiment and/or opportunities to extend your investigation.
References
Preferably a variety of credible, reliable sources you have drawn on (likely in your introduction and discussion). Use a reference generator to format this section (link below).
