Nihal Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 So I keep getting told to keep my IA simple, because it's not graded for being groundbreaking or anything. I'm skeptical about this though and I do want a good grade. I'm investigating the viscosity of different liquids and under different conditions. So too simple?:/ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I think when people say to you "simple", they mean "specific". Think about it, you are not going to get good data if you do 1 trial each for 20 different conditions, vs doing 20-30 trials for just one or two conditions. The famous oil drop lab to determine the elementary charge is simple, but the data was collected for millions of times around the world.That being said, you should specific what liquids, what conditions you are investigating. By saying under different conditions, you are basically implying all conditions from bottom of Mariana Trench to middle of Mount Kilimanjaro, obviously not feasible.Hope that helps EDIT: Under attainable conditions by a high school lab, liquids will not substantially respond to changes in pressure. Just saying. Edited November 18, 2015 by kw0573 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
