Things I couldchange or vary
Things I could measure or observe:
VARIABLESAF4
Choose an appropriate independent variable to get a level 5
I will change:
(INDEPENDENT) /
I will measure:
(DEPENDENT)
What are the VALUES (numbers or words) of the independent variable? (level 4)
The RANGE is from ______(smallest number) to ______(biggest number)
I will keep these variables the same:
They are the CONTROL VARIABLES
AIM (What are you going to find out?)
PREDICTION (What I think will happen):AF3
When I change the
(INDEPENDENT) (DEPENDENT)
DIAGRAM AND EQUIPMENTAF4
Write the reason WHY you have chosen the equipment to get a level 5.
METHOD (What are you going to do?) AF3
Remember to use the imperative tense (Useful verbs: put, take, measure, count, time...)
Repeat your experiment to get a level 5
SAFETYAF4
IS THERE ANYTHING DANGEROUS IN YOUR EXPERIMENT?
HOW CAN YOU BE SAFE?
RESULTS TABLE (remember to include UNITS at the top)AF3 AND AF5
Repeat your experiment to get a level 5 for AF4.
GRAPHAF3 AND AF5
Do a table and graph to get a level 4.
Do a table and the right type of graph to get a level 5.
Use graph paper and set the graph out like this:
Title
CONCLUSIONAF3 AND AF5
Describe your graph.Use numbers from your results table to get a level 4.
Use more than one number to get a level 5.
When I then the
other:
Example:
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? (Explain scientifically if you can):
WAS THE PREDICTION CORRECT? If not, why not?
ARE THERE ANY UNUSUAL RESULTS? (level 5)
WHY DO YOU THINK THESE HAPPENED? (level 5)
EVALUATIONAF5
WAS YOUR TEST FAIR?
If ‘Yes’ – Explain how you made it fair.
If ‘No’ – Explain how you could make it fairer next time…
HOW COULD YOU IMPROVE WHAT YOU DID? (Give reasons to get a level 5)
WHAT COULD YOU DO IN YOUR NEXT EXPERIMENT?
HOW DID YOU SHARE THE WORK IN YOUR PAIR/GROUP?AF3
WHY WAS WORKING TOGETHER BETTER THAN WORKING ON YOUR OWN?
