In the introduction of the report, which of the following isn't usually included?

• science theory relevant to the investigation

• acknowledging references

• what was found in the investigation

• a brief overview of what is being investigated

The AIM of the report is also described as...

• the people who undertook the investigation

• the purpose of the experiment

• what was discovered in the investigation

• what was done in the investigation

Which of the following does NOT apply to the HYPOTHESIS of a prac?

• it is a prediction about what will happen in the investigation

• it usually mentions both the independent and dependent variables

• it is written before the investigation happens

• it does not need to relate to what was done in the practical

Which of these definitions relates to the INDEPENDENT variable?

• the thing that is measured in the practical

• something that is kept the same for every test

• the thing that is changed each time by the experimenter

Which of these definitions relates to a CONTROL variable?

• the thing that is measured in the practical

• something that is kept the same for every test

• the thing that is changed each time by the experimenter

Which of these is NOT something that is done when writing the METHOD of a report?

• the steps must be numbered

• the steps must be written in past tense

• the steps must be specific so someone could repeat your practical

• the steps must be written with "me" "my" "I" etc.

Which of these is NOT something that is done when writing the RESULTS section of a report?

• all the relevant data is provided as tables and sometimes graphs

• all tables, graphs and images have a descriptive label

• the data can be analysed/discussed

• any calculations that were done are provided as well

• tables and graphs include headings, labels and units

Which of these is NOT something that is done when writing the DISCUSSION section of a report?

• the patterns seen in the data are described

• new information is added that wasn't given in the results

• the patterns seen are linked back to the science theory

• any inconsistencies in the data are identified and explained

• the accuracy and precision of the data are analysed

PRECISION is best described as...

• how close the trial data is for each test in the investigation

• how close the data is to the true value or science theory for the investigation

• how well you completed the practical and followed instructions

• when there are no errors present in your investigation

ACCURACY is best described as...

• how close the trial data is for each test in the investigation

• how close the data is to the true value or science theory for the investigation

• how well you completed the practical and followed instructions

• when there are no errors present in your investigation
