- check for the results if they are clear
- state where or not the Investigation question is answered.
Evaluation
State what are the
Independent variables
- the different acids
Dependent variables
how vigorous the reactions are
Controlled variables
-same metal (zinc)
- same temperature
- same amount of acid
Also check if your Report has all the required elements. The aim, Methods, Results and conclusion.
Conclusion
