The Practical Investigation

Overview

This task is worth 20 of the 30 marks available for this unit. If you make a special effort to produce high quality work that meets the requirements well it will make a big difference to your overall grade.

You are going to carry out a series of experiments on a topic of your choice. You are then going to present your results along with an analysis of what they show.

A typical investigation might involve up to about seven different experiments (depending on how complex they are) which use a variety of approaches and measuring techniques. You should approach each experiment with the same care and attention as you did the L6th quality of measurement task.
