B3Introduction
Give a brief description of the scientific concepts or theory relevant to this particular experiment
A1 Aim or research question
This is a short statement of what you are trying to find out.Eg To investigate...
A1 Variables

All reasonable variables that might affect the outcome should be identified. State variables explicitly, and explain why each is relevant. Indicate which variable(s) is/are independent variables (ones that you will change) and which are the dependent variables (ones that you will measure). Indicate which variables must be controlled (kept consistent) and why those variables must be controlled.

A1 Hypothesis
This is an educated guess as to what might happen or an idea that you want to test.Eg That... or If....then....
A3 Materials
This is a list of the equipment (apparatus) and/or chemicals you used.UseSI units.
Method
A3 This is a step-by-step list of what was done written in the past tense with no pronouns. Remember to make sure that your experiment is a fair test and that trials are repeated. Include a labeled diagram or photograph.
A2 Does the method control each of the variables well?
Results
B1 This is what you find out. It should contain careful observations and measurements. Data should be presented in a table, or a graph if possible. Labeled diagrams can be included.
B2 You can use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel to create tables and graphs (as below) and paste them into your report. Double-click on the table or graph to open Excel.

B3 Discussion
The discussion analyses the results of the investigation. It should be an explanation and interpretation related to the relevant key knowledge and skills.
  • Describe and explain what your results showed.
  • Look for patterns that have been highlighted by the data, graphs and/or calculations.
  • Were the results expected?
  • Is the hypothesis supported or disproved? or, Is the question answered?
  • Do your results agree with the science you have learnt or researched?
  • Have you learnt a new experimental skill?

Evaluation
  • C2 What were the strengths of your experimental method (give at least 3 ideas)?
  • C2 What problems were encountered (give at least 3 problems)?
  • C3 Could the design be improved (give at least 3 ideas)?

C1 Conclusion
Write a conclusion that relates back to your aim. It should be a simple statement of findings of the investigation.(e.g. As a result of this investigation it was found that....)
The conclusion must be supported by evidence and should be based on results that can be repeated. Never insist that an answer or result is correct until you have enough evidence to support it.
Bibliography
Include a list of any websites, book, journals, encyclopaedias, CD-ROMs, etc. that you have used.
  • Source 1
  • Source 2
  • Source 3
  • etc.
