Study Notes

Scientific Investigations

All scientific investigations start with an open-ended question.
The question may be written as an aim, which clarifies what the researcher wants to find out.
The aim of the experiment is a statement about what the researcher wants to find out, answering the question "Why is this investigation being done?" or "What is the purpose or reason for the investigation?"

Writing an Aim

Always start the aim with "To …"
Use phrases like "To see…", "To investigate…", "To test if…", or "To determine the relationship between…"
The aim must include both the independent and dependent variables.

Example of an Aim

To investigate if the fertiliser given to the plants affects their growth.
To see if the fertiliser given to the plants affects their growth.
