ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SQA
The first thing that you must do before starting your Assignment is to know what you will be doing, what expectations there are and how you will be writing this up. All of this is contained in the candidate guide below.

In another post ASSIGNMENT PRACTICAL EXPERIMENTAL SHEETS have been uploaded.
I think the following experiments would be suitable-
check that:
- the theory is in the compendium,
- the topic is in the course,
- there is a graph of your experiment online or in one of the text books in school. Does your graph contain data ie, are there proper points on the graph or is it a trendline- which do you think is better?
- there is theory that you can write about that relates to your experiment.
Remember If you’ve used the results from your experiment to determine further values, you should show at least one sample calculation.
Here is the what you can take into the write-up phase. Collect a polypocket and keep it all in there.

NOTE: TO ALL TEACHERS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THE SHEETS YOU ARE GIVING TO STUDENTS DO NOT BREACH THE STRICT GUIDELINES GIVEN IN THE ASSESSMENT GUIDE AND THAT THESE EXPERIMENT SHEETS MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS. YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING YOUR OWN RISK ASSESSMENTS, ITEMS IN THESE SHEETS ARE A GUIDE.
I have updated the sheets for the 2023 session,
The ones with the mrsphysics logo have been updated.
This table has more than one page!
