Key knowledge:
• independent, dependent and controlled variables
• chemical concepts specific to the investigation and their significance, including definitions of key terms, and chemical representations
• the characteristics of scientific research methodologies and techniques of primary qualitative and quantitative data collection relevant to the selected investigation with precision, accuracy, reliability and validity of data; and minimisation of experimental bias
• ethics of and concerns with research including identification and application of relevant health and safety guidelines
• methods of organising, analysing and evaluating primary data to identify patterns and relationships including sources of error and uncertainty, and limitations of data and methodologies
• models and theories and their use in organising and understanding observed phenomena and chemical concepts including their limitations
• the nature of evidence that supports or refutes a hypothesis, model or theory
• the key findings of the selected investigation and their relationships.
• the conventions of scientific report writing and scientific poster presentation including chemical terminology and representations, symbols, chemical equations, formulas, units of measurement, significant figures, standard abbreviations and acknowledgment of references.
