1.Can you spot the odd (anomalous) result?
2. What do you think would be a more accurate result?

5. Anomalous result

6. What makes a good analysis?
Calculations and data on tables.
Draw a graph of the results, label axes and title the graph.
If appropriate draw a line or curve of best fit to your results.
Explain what the graph indicates about your results.
5. Explain what the results show using good Science.
