Assignment guidanceAnalysis

The Higher Physics Assignment is made up of Research and Report. You must either carry out two experiments, or carry out an experiment and relate it to relevant data from another source. Your report should clearly show your understanding of the underlying physics involved.

Part of PhysicsExam and assignment

Analysis

You must include a discussion of the data from your experiment.

In physics this usually involves:

  • the calculation of a gradient
  • the calculation of a constant
  • and/or
  • the calculation of an absolute uncertainty in a final value

If you carried out two experiments, you should include an analysis of both experiments. Both analyses will be marked, and you will be awarded the mark for the better analysis.

Conclusion

You must state a conclusion that relates to your aim and is supported by all the data included in your report.

Evaluation

You must make three statements, supported by justification, which evaluate the data/information you have included.

The statements can relate to:

  • your experimental procedures
  • your results
  • your uncertainties
  • data from your internet/literature source.

Two or three of the statements can evaluate your experiment(s). No more than one of your statements can evaluate data from your internet/literature source.
