Risk Assessment and Method Improvement in Scientific Experiments

Conduct a risk assessment for the ______ and products and consider safety procedures.

Construct a table identifying the potential ______ and risk management strategies.

Construct a results table in your book, similar to the ______ below.

Explain how steps in the method could be causes of ______.

Using your information in question 1 and selected method variables, construct a specific and relevant ______ question to investigate with your improved method.

Risk Assessment and Management

Risk assessment involves identifying potential risks and developing strategies to mitigate them.
A risk assessment table can be used to organize and visualize risks and corresponding management strategies.

Data Analysis

Time taken for a reaction to finish can be measured and recorded in a table.
The table can be used to analyze the relationship between variables, such as the dependent variable (y) and independent variable(s) (x).

Method Improvement

Identifying problems with a method is crucial to improving its accuracy and reliability.
Problems with a method can impact the data collected, leading to uncertainty and inaccuracy.
Steps in the method can be causes of uncertainty, and understanding these can help improve the method.
Improving a method can lead to more accurate and reliable data.

Research Question Development

A research question should be specific, relevant, and investigate the relationship between variables.
A well-crafted research question should be in the format "How does x affect y?" to guide the investigation.

This quiz assesses your understanding of risk assessment tables, analyzing results, identifying problems with methods, and improving data collection. It's perfect for students of science and research methods.
