Conclusion and Evaluation (CE) 2
Evaluation
You don't have to do everything in this list to get a complete as they may not all be relevant
- This is where you say if the conclusion is reasonable or not, you must have evidence for anything you write here, this can be from your results (the graph) or the observations you made during the experiment. You shouldn’t say friction was a problem without evidence. It might help to do a small experiment to show that something was a problem.
- Comments do not have to be negative but you should say what the limitations were.
- Comment on whether your graph shows a trend; is it clearly a curve even though the line passes through the error bars? Are the errors reasonable, are they obviously too big or too small.
- Comment on whether the intercept tell you anything, if it is supposed to be (0,0) and isn’t it might suggest a systematic error.
- Comment on whether you manage to keep the “controlled variables” constant?
- Comment on the equipment used and the method in which you used it.
- Comment on the range of values and the number of repetitions.
- Comment on time management
