1. PRACTICAL Practice for your internal

2. INFORMATION We are testing the reaction rate of Magnesium in various concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid. -What could your aim be? Write one down. **Remember, it can be an hypothesis “I think that….”, a question, or a general aim statement.

3. VARIABLES What do you think your independent variable will be? Write it down How will you change this variable? Is there a range of measurements for this variable?

4. VARIABLES What do you think your dependent variable will be? Write it down. How will you measure this variable?

5. CONTROLLED VARIABLES What are 3 variables you will control? How will you control each of these variables to ensure you have a fair test?

6. RELIABLE RESULTS How will you show your results are reliable? ** You will do each test 3 times and then average your results. You have the handout to write on – HOWEVER. For your internal, you will have to remember the table layout.

7. EQUIPMENT List your equipment needed **We are using Mg ribbon that needs to be cut to 5mm**

8. METHOD Write a clear, concise method. ** It should be numbered so someone could easily follow your instructions.

9. DO THE PRACTICAL Write up your results once you have obtained them. Graph your results. ** Are there any random results? Are there results you didn’t expect? (This is all written in your conclusion.

10. INTERPRETATION OF DATA Summarise what results you found. Conclusion – relate this to your aim. Did it prove what you set out to find? Did you change anything throughout your tests to ensure accuracy? Evaluation – Did you change anything while collecting data? -Were there limitations to it being 100% fair test? -Were there possible sources of error? -Was there anything you could have done differently to make it better? -Can you relate your findings to the collision theory ?
