Homework for this week part 1

Now that we have done the experiment to investigate ionic compound concentration on electrical conductivity, it's up to you to write up the method, the diagram, the apparatus and the conclusion.

Remember to include in your conclusion any improvements you could make to make a repeat of your experiment more accurate. What other factors could you investigate to look at the electrical properties of ionic compounds? What went wrong if anything and how would you ensure that it doesn't go wrong next time?

In your conclusion, you must look at your results and interpret them. Can you see any trends? What do they tell us? In what way do your results relate to the theory of ionic compounds in solution that you researched for homework? Try to relate yourknowledge of ions to conductivity.

Remember, your method must be in past tense, without the words "I" or "we" - write in the third person passive voice. e.g. "1 Spatula of salt was added" not "I then added 1 spatula of salt" and must be written in such a way that anyone reading it may be able to repeat your experiment exactly as you done it.
