D - DATA
D - DATA
At least 5 increments for an independent variable
Table has a clear title
All units of IV and DV are given in column headings

Qualitative data (some observations) are noted
R - RESULTS
R - RESULTS
Graphs
Graphs have a clear title (can use same title from data table)
Data should be presented in a way that directly answers the research question
All units of IV and DV are given on the axes
Uncertainties are given with the unit in column headings
Only the means are plotted
Error bars are plotted (from standard deviation or min/max values)
Calculations
mean is calculated
standard deviation is calculated (if your data allows - a minimum of 5 repeats is required for a valid calculation)
sample calculations are written out
A - ANALYSIS
A - ANALYSIS
Calculations or statistical test are appropriate to investigation, justified and answer research question
Discuss any patterns or trends with reference to your analyzed data/graphs
make sure you constantly support anything you write with numbers from your graph
Explain the size of your standard deviations and link it to how significant your data is (If you calculated SD)
Explain error bar source
C - CONCLUSION
C - CONCLUSION
Your conclusion should only be one small paragraph
Conclusion is based on and refers to the interpretation of processed and raw data
Level of support (strong, weak, no support, inconclusive, etc) for teh hypothesis/research question is indentified, correct and justified
possible impacts of qualitative discussed
Refers to trends or patterns seen in data to support conclusions. uses data in conclusion statements
The conclusion should discuss how well you can answer your research question with your data
