IA: Individual Investigation

ADVICE FOR STUDENTS

- Keep the experiment fairly simple, but analyze it really well. 

- Cite as you go. Having to locate your sources afterwards is a waste of time and a potential academic honesty issue.

- Don't underestimate your uncertainty but also don't overstate it. Make sure you can justify the uncertainty that you are using for your measurements

- Explain what the slopes and y-intercepts of your graphs mean. A mathematical relationship is not enough.

​- Evaluate your results. Do you have good/valid results? How did systematic errors affect your results?What limitations are there in how you collected/analyzed your data? How do the limitations affect the validity of your results? How do you know?
