First Name Last Name
Remember to include:
Explanation/reason for undertaking the investigation
A clear aim
A hypothesis and/or prediction (If…then…)
Explained relevant biological concepts
Introduction
Remember to:
Present collected data/evidence in a way that illustrates any trends, patterns and/or relationships
Think about the most appropriate way to present to data you have collected
Check that you have followed appropriate scientific conventions – each graph/table/image needs a title and number so it can be easily referred to in the discussion
Graphs should have the independent variable on the horizontal (x) axis, the dependent variable on the vertical (y) axis and both axis should be labelled including appropriate units of measurement
Results
Chart 1. Label in 24pt Calibri.
Remember to:
Analyse and evaluate the results to identify any trends/patterns/relationships that may exist between the variables under investigation
Only mention correlations/links between the variables if there is evidence of this in the results obtained
Identify any outliers and their subsequent treatment
Identify any limitations in data and methods, and suggest improvements
Link the results to any relevant biological concepts
Discussion
Methodology
Remember to include:
Summary of the experimental method used and the reasons for choosing this method
Enough information for someone unfamiliar with the experiment to be able to replicate it
Steps you have taken to ensure: fair test/validity/reliability
Information about: the independent variable/dependent variable, any +ve/-ve controls
Any risk identification/ management and health, safety and ethical guidelines followed in the investigation
