Wipe Out
Using the graphs you created in previous lessons, complete the first conclusion section.
“My data shows that as….
For example, when…”
If you dont' have the graphs or having completed them, you can still write the conclusions by looking at the trend in the data, which is provided for you below.
Stand
Complete the ‘Further Investigations’ for the Boiling Water Experiment.
“After reviewing this experiment and analysing the Results, think of a new question that relates to this material that can only be answered by conducting a second experiment.
Explain how you would carry out this new investigation. Why would it be useful to do this next experiment?”
Surf
Complete the ‘Evaluation of Method’ Section of the Discussion for the Boiling Water Experiment
Here are the questions to help you.
"Did you face any difficulties during this experiment that may have affected your measurements?
Are you happy with the data that was collected? Why or why not?
What are some steps in your Method that ensured your experiment tested one variable at a time?
What could you have done differently to make your measurements more accurate?
Justify why the range you used gives you reliable data.
If you removed any collected data, explain why they are outliers. "
Soar
Complete the ‘Relating to Science Content’ Section of the Discussion for the Boiling Water Experiment
Here are some questions to help you.
"What is the definition of temperature ?
What does the temperature of the water represent?
What happens to particles when they get more energy?
Where does this energy come from? "
