An essential student guide to interpreting and drawing conclusions from experiment results

By
Julia Burton

Students will find their logical next steps in Analysing Scientific Experiments, from which they can experience the satisfaction of getting real meaning from experimental results. Through these activities they will develop the range of analytical and statistical skills they need to interpret their results and use their understanding of scientific principles to reach sound conclusions. After completing simple scaffolding activities to practise various statistical and analytical techniques in isolation, students gain many opportunities to apply those techniques to both results supplied in the resource and results they gain from their own experiments.
