using a method of your choice.

You will design an excellent experiment following the IA “DESIGN” criteria. You will ensure that all

parts of the criteria are met. This is assessed by the design only. The method must be

experimentally feasible for a high school laboratory. You will need to research various methods to

find one that fits your criteria and adjust it to fit our classroom. You will cite any resources you

utilize in the design of your experiment. You will not copy verbatim any experiment, but make ityour own. You plan will be turned in electronically through turnitin.com to check for plagiarism.

Candidate declaration:“ I confirm that this work is my own work and is the final version. I have acknowledged each use of the
