Re: Experimental Design B/C
I think you would just write something about how well the data follows a trend. IDK because I don't do analysis.mpnobivucyxtz wrote:But it’s a rubric point right?

Re: Experimental Design B/C
Are we allowed to use the materials we bring in as a part of the experiment? Like using the meterstick we bring in to make a ramp or something?

Re: Experimental Design B/C
I think so - we are allowed to use our own stopwatches, so why not metersticks?mpnobivucyxtz wrote:Are we allowed to use the materials we bring in as a part of the experiment? Like using the meterstick we bring in to make a ramp or something?

Like the ES at my invitational said, if everyone else has one, you can use it.

You can, but you need to use 2 of the materials provided as far as I remember.mpnobivucyxtz wrote:Are we allowed to use the materials we bring in as a part of the experiment? Like using the meterstick we bring in to make a ramp or something?

Re: Experimental Design B/C
It depends; you're allowed to bring certain materials in. A good kit to have ready should include the following: A ruler or two, some extra pencils, goggles, clipboards, a timer and a calculator. Your proctor might only allow some materials in, and the rest you should place elsewhere. A ramp is something I wouldn't bring to a competition.MissAmargasaurus wrote:You can, but you need to use 2 of the materials provided as far as I remember.mpnobivucyxtz wrote:Are we allowed to use the materials we bring in as a part of the experiment?

Re: Experimental Design B/C
Hey, I didn't mean bringing a ramp, I meant using what we brought in as a supplement to our experience. Like rolling things down our meterstick or dropping our pens to test gravity.OrigamiPlanet wrote:It depends; you're allowed to bring certain materials in.

Oh I see what you mean. That situation you could likely get away with it.

Re: Experimental Design B/C
Just keep in mind, you'll be tiered if you don't do an experiment related to the topic (4.f.) I would hope that most supervisors will provide adequate materials to test the topic, and using a meterstick as a ramp, or the stopwatch lanyard as a pendulum, may be going too far "outside the box" to adequately address the topic. It's not prohibited, but I wouldn't encourage that as Plan A. It does make for a good back-up plan though.OrigamiPlanet wrote:Oh I see what you mean. That situation you could likely get away with it.
