Sandy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm doing my chemistry IP (previously known as IA) using a simulation, since its difficult to perform the experiment in the lab. What uncertainties could be there in this case and how to improve them? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msj Chem Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Taken from the IB subject report: 'When analysing their data students should show appreciation of the impact of measurement uncertainties. This could be evidenced through the propagation of error using a sensible protocol through a calculation, the drawing of a graph with appropriate best fit line and quite possibly the inclusion of error bars and always the appropriate use of significant figures. Since the Individual Investigations will take many different forms the teacher will have to decide what constitutes the appropriate treatment of uncertainties applicable to that research.'
