Recording results

Any data collected from a scientific investigation should be recorded in a results table.

A results table needs to include:

  • Appropriate headings.
  • Appropriate units (written in the column heading only).
  • All data collected.
  • Any repeats obtained.
  • Appropriate calculations (e.g. average).
