Abhishek3 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 When I was listing various topics for my IA, I realized some of these topics have very simple procedures. Will my marks reduce, due to a simple procedure? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. G. Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 The procedure itself does not need to be complicated. If you have a well justified procedure with good thought put into control variables, it can be a pretty simple experiment. I had a student last year who scored a perfect mark and her IA as essentially heating up a small box, using a lamp repeatedly with different shades of roof. If it is designed thoughtfully, executed accurately and analyzed thoroughly, you can get a good mark from an easy experiment. All of that being said, your teacher will hopefully be a valuable resource in knowing if your IA experiment is appropriate. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really worried, because it's simple, but has lots of value Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
