Having Trouble Making Sense of Your Lab Results?
A good science report needs to connect the results to the conclusion. Work through your data and learn how to explain what the evidence does and does not show.
Common Problem Areas in Each Science
Each page covers the calculations and data interpretation that most often decide the mark in that subject.
Biology
Interpreting a gel the wrong way round is a common loss, and a Hardy-Weinberg calculation only holds if the population assumptions do. The write-up has to match the method, not just the numbers.
Chemistry
The equivalence point decides a titration, and the powers and units in a Kp expression have to match the equation as written. Both carry most of the marks in a physical chemistry paper.
Physics
One missing force on the free body diagram makes every equation after it wrong, however tidy the algebra looks. Your tutor starts from the diagram, then follows the signs through Kirchhoff's laws.
