This practical investigation is a development of the Level 1 physics practical. You are required, for a set investigation, to:
plan an appropriate method with key variables identified and described
use and describe the effects of accuracy improving techniques
interpret a non-linear graph
transform a non-linear graph into a linear graph and calculate the mathematical relationship
make comparisons between a theoretical equation and the mathematical equation derived from your results
discuss, in detail, the reliability and accuracy of your results including full descriptions of any difficulties encountered, their effects on results, as well as justification for chosen accuracy improving techniques.
Assessment: this will be in the format of a written lab report using Google Docs (or other Google platform). NOTE submissions in Word, PDF or other formats will not be accepted.
This resource contains all the steps you need to help you develop a high quality investigation report.
