Discuss evidence from your research which relates to (a) your investigation (b) your proposed hypothesis.

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

 

It’s a investigation report, please just do the “introduction” (background information) part (8000 words for the introduction), no need to do method and materials
In the introduction, please include

1.Define corrosion (including relevant equations for your investigation).
2.List any oxidation and reduction equations which relate to your investigation.
3.Outlive the application/context of corrosion in your investigation.
4.Outline the relationship between the activity series and how/why the metals corrode differently.
5.Discuss four (4) factors which can influence corrosion. (This one needed to be a long one )
6.Discuss evidence from your research which relates to (a) your investigation (b) your proposed hypothesis.
7.Introduce the special equipment used during the investigation.
8.Others.

YEAR 12 CHEMISTRY Extended Experimental Investigation

CHEMISTRY IN THE HOME

Date due out:                                    Week 8   TERM 4 2014

Design Brief Draft:                           TBA

Draft due:                                           TBA

Date due in:                                       TBA

 

YOUR TASK:

 

The aim of this task is to design and conduct a chemical study of some facet of the factors affecting corrosion and write a scientific report of your investigation. The study will most likely begin with an open ended practical research question(s) raised from (an) observation(s)*.

 

* Observation(s) may be something that you have encountered in an everyday context, through the chemistry laboratory or class discussions/exposition lessons about corrosion.

 

 

DESIGN BRIEF

 

 

You are unable to start experimental work until your investigation is approved. You must submit your Design Brief (this includes Introduction, the proposed method and materials and an electronic RISK ASSESS FORM) prior to starting the experimental work. The Design Brief must be submitted via turn-it-in and the Introduction will be marked for KCU. You will have the chance to resubmit your method and materials.
introduction section needs to include the folloeing aspects of Corrosion chemistry and how it relates to your investigation.

 

1. Define corrosion (including relevant equations for your investigation).
2. List any oxidation and reduction equations which relate to your investigation.
3. Outlive the application/context of corrosion in your investigation.
4. Outline the relationship between the activity series and how/why the metals corrode differently.
5. Discuss four (4) factors which can influence corrosion.
6. Discuss evidence from your research which relates to (a) your investigation (b) your proposed hypothesis.
7. Introduce the special equipment used during the investigation.

 

 

Your Introduction section should cover all aspects of CORROSION chemistry that are relevant to your investigation. You should provide relevant chemical equations and the application of algorithms as well as evidence that supports your hypothesis.

 

Your proposed Method and Materials section must cover all equipment and chemicals you will use and a detailed plan that you will follow.

 

 

RISK ASSESSMENT

 

As part of your proposed Method and Materials you must complete a risk assessment (experiment request) and email this to your teacher on completion. All necessary equipment and chemicals must be listed.

Go to www.riskassess.com.au

 

 

AUTHENTICATION OF WORK

 

You must record all experimental work in your Blog. It is expected that all your raw data and relevant research material is recorded in your document DAILY. The completed document will be used to verify and authenticate that you have collected the raw data during the period of the investigation.

You can also verify that the collected data is your own by:

• Dated photos (for the period of the EEI you have permission to take still images using your own camera or mobile phone camera during Chemistry.
• Signed and dated notations from an appropriate source.
• Photos which include you holding a daily newspaper.

Your document will be regularly checked by your teacher and will go towards your Investigative Processes achievement level.

 

FINAL SUBMISSION

 

The discussion, evaluation and conclusion component of your Scientific Report must be between 1000 and 1500 words and producing a submission not in this range may result in you being penalised.

 

Your final submission must include a hard-copy of all components. Use the following checklist as a guide.
