    Study Notes

    Scientific Enquiry Types

    • Five main types exist.

    Planning Fair Tests

    • Plan investigations with clear identification of:
      • Independent variable (what you change)
      • Dependent variable (what you measure)
      • Control variables (what you keep the same).

    Safety in Practical Work

    • Follow safety procedures throughout experiments.

    Basic Measurements and Recording

    • Take accurate measurements.
    • Record measurements properly.
