Carry out an investigation in chemistry involving quantitative analysis
You need to design and carry out your own chemistry investigation that measures how much of a substance is in a sample (quantitative analysis), using a technique like titration or colorimetry. You'll collect data, analyse it mathematically, and write a report explaining what you found and why your method worked.
You carry out an investigation with a clear purpose, describe your procedure and analytical technique, collect enough data to reach a conclusion, and write a report showing your processed data and findings.
Your investigation collects quality data by standardising solutions and controlling variables, you show the mathematical steps used to process data accurately, and your report explains how your procedure contributed to getting good data.
You accurately process data using correct significant figures and units, justify why you chose each procedural step based on the chemistry involved, and evaluate your investigation by discussing data reliability, sources of error, and how your findings link to chemical principles or real-world applications.
