G9/G10 PLANNING BOOKLET 
Title of investigation: 
Name: 
Class: 
Date:
1 . DESIGN (D) 
AIM/RESEARCH QUESTION-: state what you are investigating (IV) and how you will 
investigate it (DV) 
To investigate 
HYPOTHESIS- make a prediction, how does changing the IV effect the DV 
If 
then 
SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION- explain your hypothesis using scientific reasoning 
VARIABLES - state the IV, DV and at least 3 control variables with Units 
Independent variable: 
Dependent variable: 
First control variable: 
Second Control Variable: 
Third Control Variable:
CONTROLLING VARIABLES - 
Independent: explain how you will change the IV and what apparatus will use do to this 
Dependant: explain how you will measure the DV and what apparatus will use do to this 
Control: explain how you will control at least 3 variables and the apparatus used to do this 
1. 
2. 
3. 
APPARATUS AND MATERIALS - List the apparatus you are going to use. : 
include concentrations of solutions and size of equipment 2M solution, 50ml Beaker 
Draw and label your diagram in pencil.
METHOD/PROCEDURE - include ALL steps, correct units, range of samples. State what you 
will do with the data and calculate a mean/draw a graph etc
2. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING (DCP) 
RAW AND PROCESSED DATA TABLE - Use the table below to make a note of your results. You do not have to use all the cells in the 
table. Use the dotted lines as a guide . A titled large clear table with all raw and processed data. Include headings/ units 
Title: ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 
· Have you remembered units and headings?
GRAPH - Make a bar or line graph of your results below with correctly plotted with Scale, axis, labels. 
Units and title (SALT) 
Title: Graph showing the relationship between ……………………………………. 
……………………………………………………………………………………… 
Independent variable: ……………………………………………………….….. 
…………………………………………………….

e:
DATA ANALYSIS - describe your results in words by identifying trends and patterns. 
E.g. At………… there was the greatest distance diffused by NaOH (0.76mm) At…..there was the lowest 
distance of diffusion.
3. DISCUSSION, EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION (DEC) 
DISCUSSION 
Explanation and Scientific Reasoning 
Suggest possible explanation for anomalous results 
Limitations of the Experiment, (validity and reliability)- identify errors in the method, measurements and 
limitations in collecting data (do not include your human errors). 
Was your experiment valid and reliable? 
VALID 
RELIABLE 
And Suggestions for Improvements how to realistically improve the limitations you have identified 
Weakness in method and/or apparatus Suggestion for improvement
Relationship to hypothesis and Research Question - do your results and validity/reliability of the 
experiment support or disprove your initial hypothesis 
What can you say about your hypothesis? 
A. My hypothesis is supported 
B. My hypothesis should be changed to ……………………………………… 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
C. My results do not allow me to choose A or B ( can you suggest further experiments or 
improvements to improve your investigation 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
……………………………………………………………………………… 
CONCLUSION- summarize report and refer back to research question(s), briefly state the trends on 
patterns, comment on validity and reliability, and conclude whether data supports or disproves your 
hypothesis. If possible relate to real world context and include ideas for further study (extension of 
investigation)

IGCSE planning an investigation student booklet

  • 1. IGCSE Science G9/G10 PLANNING BOOKLET Title of investigation: Name: Class: Date:
  • 2. 1 . DESIGN (D) AIM/RESEARCH QUESTION-: state what you are investigating (IV) and how you will investigate it (DV) To investigate HYPOTHESIS- make a prediction, how does changing the IV effect the DV If then SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION- explain your hypothesis using scientific reasoning VARIABLES - state the IV, DV and at least 3 control variables with Units Independent variable: Dependent variable: First control variable: Second Control Variable: Third Control Variable:
  • 3. CONTROLLING VARIABLES - Independent: explain how you will change the IV and what apparatus will use do to this Dependant: explain how you will measure the DV and what apparatus will use do to this Control: explain how you will control at least 3 variables and the apparatus used to do this 1. 2. 3. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS - List the apparatus you are going to use. : include concentrations of solutions and size of equipment 2M solution, 50ml Beaker Draw and label your diagram in pencil.
  • 4. METHOD/PROCEDURE - include ALL steps, correct units, range of samples. State what you will do with the data and calculate a mean/draw a graph etc
  • 5. 2. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING (DCP) RAW AND PROCESSED DATA TABLE - Use the table below to make a note of your results. You do not have to use all the cells in the table. Use the dotted lines as a guide . A titled large clear table with all raw and processed data. Include headings/ units Title: ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. · Have you remembered units and headings?
  • 6. GRAPH - Make a bar or line graph of your results below with correctly plotted with Scale, axis, labels. Units and title (SALT) Title: Graph showing the relationship between ……………………………………. ……………………………………………………………………………………… Independent variable: ……………………………………………………….….. ……………………………………………………. . De pe nd en t va ria bl e:
  • 7. DATA ANALYSIS - describe your results in words by identifying trends and patterns. E.g. At………… there was the greatest distance diffused by NaOH (0.76mm) At…..there was the lowest distance of diffusion.
  • 8. 3. DISCUSSION, EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION (DEC) DISCUSSION Explanation and Scientific Reasoning Suggest possible explanation for anomalous results Limitations of the Experiment, (validity and reliability)- identify errors in the method, measurements and limitations in collecting data (do not include your human errors). Was your experiment valid and reliable? VALID RELIABLE And Suggestions for Improvements how to realistically improve the limitations you have identified Weakness in method and/or apparatus Suggestion for improvement
  • 9. Relationship to hypothesis and Research Question - do your results and validity/reliability of the experiment support or disprove your initial hypothesis What can you say about your hypothesis? A. My hypothesis is supported B. My hypothesis should be changed to ……………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… C. My results do not allow me to choose A or B ( can you suggest further experiments or improvements to improve your investigation ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… CONCLUSION- summarize report and refer back to research question(s), briefly state the trends on patterns, comment on validity and reliability, and conclude whether data supports or disproves your hypothesis. If possible relate to real world context and include ideas for further study (extension of investigation)
