Year 10 SRP Help (1 Viewer)

[cristal]

So I've just begun my year 10 SRP on the effect the length of the string of a pendulum has on its period and have a few questions as I don't believe I get to ask my teacher as things are set pretty strict.

For the research (essentially the pendulum formula + definitions of related terms), how should I place it in my report, or specifically how do I relate this to my aim and hypothesis as it essentially already proves my hypothesis? My draft hypothesis is "To investigate", however should I change this to something else such as "To observe" or "To measure"?
Also, I'm confused about how I should do a control test for this experiment as I can't really set the independent variable (length of string) to zero as it wouldn't be a pendulum anymore.

damn seems like smn you'd see more in a yr 11 test icl. Can't you do smn simpler?

wtf are u going to ruse or sghs

this is doing too much what do you mean kind of strict

It's public and not selective or partial

Unless you are doing just a general observation and some basic calcs, it's sort of overdoing it for a year 10 srp. I did a galvanic cell experiment in my old school- whilst it was a pretty ok mark, there were several others who got the same but with easier experiments. The thing they'll be assessing you on is how you conduct an experiment and accordingly present your findings and results on a piece of paper (or in this case into a doc). Same thing applies for your senior years. If you do not understand SHM, force analysis, drag force, etc it will become exceedingly confusing.

It's public and not selective or partial, it's top 150

damn i can't believe there's rlly government schools in top 60

other people can do their own research lol but DAMN

I suggest though if you do persist to use an exemplar for your 'structure' it should save you the hassle of knowing where to put what

I still don't really know what to do for my control test and my research in relation to my aim/hypothesis, as my science notes and google classroom resources (and the practice ones we did) don't really align to my situation. As for my marking criteria, I don't remember much detail except there's a lot (40 marks but I wouldn't count one)

Please note, when my class did an experiment on the pendulum's oscillation 3 years ago, it didn't involve calculating the pendulum formula, so idk if this pdf will be any help to you.

I suppose for my control test I could probably place in a middle value (as observed in your sheet) and generate some yap about why it's a good control test, though I'm still unsure if it'll reasonably pass. Thanks for the pdf!

my school did the same sort of stuff and we arent ranked that high. honeslty some schools like to briefly skim prelim and hsc content to like mildly familiarise kids with them so by the time we get to that sort of thing we have seen the content before.

like in y10 we did like 1 mod of prelim chem, phys and bio (not necessarily mod 1 but just one of the mods) and did a random titration prac too (mod 6, i have no clue why we did it icl). it confused me soo much back then but honestly i appreciate it bc the first mod we did in y11 were the same mods we did in y10 so it was like having extra time to learn things.

So I did like a practice experiment to understand the equipment I need and how I should conduct my experiment, but my pendulum's swinging strangely, like it would complete one period but then it does some strange circular motion away from the forward path and would eventually hit the retort stand (which probably isn't a good result for my experiment). If I drop the weight more gently this circular motion thing reduces but not by much, is it maybe because I tied the string with the weight to the clamp as a knot instead of using another boss head? Or are there any other solutions?

i read the first sentence n stopped
my srp was how long it takes eggshells to dissolve in different types of acid n i faked the results bc it didnt even work

there's some criteria about CREATIVITY I'm definitely losing that mark arghhh

Yeah mine was the effect of soaps on oils but mine didn't really work so I also kinda faked my results
