5 Scientific investigation
FORMAT OF THE PHYSICS REPORT
Peka experiment report = physics paper 3 (12 marks)
INFERENCE

Early assessment that is carried out to answer

the question raised.
Q: How is the period of a simple pendulum
dependent on its length?
A: The period of a simple pendulum is
depend on/influence by its length-1 mark

HYPOTHESIS

General statement about the relationship

between manipulated variable & responding
variable
Example: The longer is the pendulum, the
longer is the period of its oscillation- 1 mark

AIM

Statement to show the investigation of the

variable involved
Example: To investigate the relationship
between the period of a simple
pendulum & its length- 1 mark

VARIABLES

manipulated variable : - 1 mark

responding variable : Period of oscillation, T
fixed variable : - mass of the pendulum -1 mark

DISCUSSION

optional

CONCLUSION

Based on the graph. - 1 mark

Example : The extension of spring is
directly proportional to the weight

PRECAUTION

write 2 precaution
Example: The slotted weight was attached to
the spring was not allowed to touch the table
