1. List down six research questions to be tested.

2. Each group member should contribute at least one research question to be tested.

3. If you are unable to edit any posts, reply as comments.

Research Question 1

• If the number of bulbs in parallel affects the brightness of the bulbs

  
  

Research Question 2

Xavier

• Will the length of the wire affect the amount of light shone from the bulbs.

  
  

Research Question 3

Kaelen

If the thickness of a wire affects the amount of electrical current that can pass through it

Research Question 4

Jeslyn

• How does changing the type of wire affect the flow of electricity?

Research Question 5

. Faith

how does the position of the bulb affect the time taken for the bulb to fuse.

Research Question 6

Alina

• conductors of electricity are metal, steel, cobalt nickel and iron allows electricity to flow easily while insulators like rubber, plastic, fabric and glass do not

1. Rank the six research questions. Discuss and select the first choice which the group feels is the most doable for the project work. Recall all the considerations during your group discussion:

   • Are there any safety concerns about the experiment?

   • What materials does the project require?

   • Are all the materials and apparatus readily available in the Physical and Life Science Rooms?

   • Is the project idea original? Is the project similar to any Science activity that was conducted previously?

   • What will be the duration taken for the collection of the data?

   
   

2. Submit the first choice research question in the post, ‘Draft Research Question’ below. (Edit post)

   
   

3. Key into Fairbot, this first choice. Evaluate the feedback given by Fairbot on the clarity of the research question. Use Fairbot to refine the research question, if necessary.

   
   

4. If your first choice is not feasible, repeat step 2 - 5 for your second choice. Use prompts in Fairbot to get feedback on each research question until the group has reached a decision on the research question to undertake.

   
   

5. Submit the group's 'Final Research Question' in the post below. (Edit post) In this post, state the change (if any) to the research question that your group has made based on the feedback given by Fairbot and the reason for the change.

   
   

6. Discuss as a group and key in prompts into Fairbot to think ahead about some considerations of the project that you may want to take note of before conducting the hands-on experiment. Key in these considerations in the post, 'Considerations of the Project (based on feedback from Fairbot)' below. (Edit post)

What was the change made to the final research question based on the feedback given by Fairbot (if any)?

Why did the group decide to make this change to the research question?

1. Each group member should contribute one entry on Padlet for the individual reflection.

   
   

2. Key onto a Padlet note below, the following:

   • 3 things that you have learnt about project work / designing an experiment thus far

   • 2 things that Fairbot has helped with the project work thus far

   • 1 thing that you wish Fairbot can help you with in project work

Ans: The shorter wire makes the bulb brighter while the longer wire makes the bulb dimmer.

(2) What concept you can use to explain the results?

Ans: electricity takes time to flow through

(3) Can you explain the difference in results you had gotten?

Ans: one bulb was brighter then the other

(4) Can you compare the differences between results and explain...

Ans: the length of the wire will effect the brightness of the bulb

(5) Is the results what you had predicted?

Ans: No, our hypothesis was that the brightness of the bulb would remain the same no mater the length of the wire.

(6) What is the relationship between .....

Ans:

Electric currents

The longer the wire the least amount of light emitting from the bulb while the shorter wire emits more light from the bulb

Yes

Nothing

Yes

Do the experiment in a dark room and do the experiment twice

so we will reduce chances of mistakes

electricity takes less time to flow through the shorter wire; thus, there is less electricity lost.

The bulb connected to the shorter wire had more light detected from the light sensor than the bulb connected to the longer wire.

This is because electricity takes less time to flow through the shorter wire; thus, there is less electricity lost.

No, we predicted that the results would be about the same

The shorter the wire, the higher the amount of light from the lightbulb.

it takes time

....

For fairbot to not ask the same questions
