Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the setup and structure of an Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) focused on projectile motion, specifically through the construction and operation of a coil gun. Participants are exploring how to effectively present their findings and the necessary components of the report.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster seeks guidance on the organization of their EEI, including the placement of results and whether to include a risk assessment. They also inquire about additional required elements for the report.
  • Some participants question the definition of EEI, indicating a lack of familiarity with the term in different educational contexts.
  • Others suggest a general structure for scientific reports, including sections like Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion.

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with participants providing insights into the structure of the EEI and clarifying the term EEI for those unfamiliar. There is no explicit consensus on the best approach, but several suggestions for report organization have been offered.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be variability in the understanding and implementation of EEIs across different educational institutions, which may affect the advice given. The original poster's inquiry reflects specific requirements for their assignment that may not be universally applicable.

Hi,
I'm in Year 11 Physics, and we were assigned a task. We were to do an EEI on projectile motion, and I chose to make and shoot a coil gun. I have made it, but now I am stuck on how to set up the EEI assignment.
Where should I put the results, and how should I put them? ect
I've decided on first asking the question - 'what is a coilgun'? as some people don't know about them.
1) Should I include the Risk Assessment I had in my EEI proposal?
2) How should I lay out the results?
3) What else should there me in it?

Thanks!
I hope I've put this in the right place!

First, define EEI please. I have no idea what this term is.
 
An EEI is an Extended Experimental Investigation. All students who have taken Physics have done (or should have done) at least one EEI. It's just an investigation into whatever the teacher tells you to do - and this time, it's projectile motion.
 
Hm, I am going into my 3rd year of my bachelors degree in physics and I've never heard of an EEI. Just because your school has something doesn't mean everyone everywhere does it as well, don't assume things, it makes you sound arrogant and cocky.

Anyway, in general a report of this style might be organized as:
Abstract
Introduction
Method
Results
Discussion

I'll leave the rest to you
