Hello all,
This year once I go back to school, (late January) I will need to complete a piece of assessment called an extended experimental investigation (EEI), I was terrible in a similar assignment last year and was lucky to just pass. This is my last year of schooling and most important. I want to try and get the best possible mark, and as this is a major piece of assessment I want to start early. So I am writing for ideas, hopefully I want to investigate something very interesting, I love maths so the more equations the better, so any ideas?
An EEI has these characteristics:
·It is extended. An EEI occupies considerably more time than the usual physics practical. An EEI may continue for months and will continue in the background of your normal Physics lessons (as well as your other subjects). You will still be expected to do homework, study for exams, carry out practicals and complete other forms of assessment while the EEI is underway.
·It is experimental. An EEI requires you to conduct an experiment and to collect data. The data will be qualitative or quantitative observations of some particular phenomenon made by you (not by someone else as is the case for a purely book or internet researched project).
·It investigates some phenomenon in the physical world. You will be expected to analyse your data and to draw conclusions. You will discuss whether your results support your hypothesis or not.
Please any questions please ask, my friend is very much into cycling, so maybe some sort of experiment to do with cycling?
Cheers Matt
