eri.tse Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Does anyone have any advice on how to write scientifically for the IAs as I am been told that my language is too informal? Thanks! Edited July 22, 2017 by eri.tse Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Hmm, it's hard to write a guide for that, but perhaps some general guidelines: -Avoid using the word "amount". Use mass or volume, depending on what you're doing. -Don't ever use the word "like" -State the proper names for all the scientific apparatus you use e.g. erlenmeyer flask, measuring cylinder -Use the word "measure" or "determine" when you're trying to determine a value via an apparatus -State the uncertainty of all apparatus used To be honest, I find it difficult to help you on this with lack of information. If you PM me an example of what your teacher said was "informal writing" (a paragraph or so) I can get a better idea of what it is you're having issues with. Random pro tip: Writing more than just a brief comment on safety e.g. a 4-6 line paragraph as well as quantifying your control variables are necessary in achieving high Exploration marks.
