Abstract a brief abstract (summary) stating the overall aim(s) and finding(s)/conclusion(s) of the investigation	1
Introduction relevant to the investigation demonstrating an understanding of the physics theory underpinning the investigation of an appropriate level (ie commensurate with the demands of Advanced Higher Physics)	4
Procedures labelled diagrams and/or descriptions of apparatus, as appropriate clear descriptions of how the apparatus was used to obtain experimental readings procedures are at an appropriate level for Advanced Higher complexity, ie appropriate level of demand; factors to be considered include: range of procedures control of variables accuracy originality of approach and/or experimental techniques; degree of sophistication of experimental design and/or equipment	2 2 3
Results (including uncertainties) data sufficient and relevant to the aim(s) of the investigation appropriate analysis of data, eg quality graphs, lines of best fit, calculations uncertainties in individual and final results	1 4 3
Discussion (conclusion(s) and evaluation) conclusion(s) is/are valid and relate to the aim(s) of the investigation evaluation of experimental procedures to include, as appropriate, comment on: accuracy of experimental measurements adequacy of repeated readings adequacy of range over which variables are altered adequacy of control of variables limitations of equipment reliability of methods sources of errors and uncertainties coherent discussion of overall conclusion(s) and critical evaluation of the investigation as a whole to include, as appropriate, comment on: problems overcome modifications to procedures significance/interpretation of findings suggestions for further improvements to procedures suggestions for further work overall quality of the investigation	1 3 3 1
Presentation appropriate structure, including informative title, contents page and page numbers references cited in the text and references listed in standard form, acknowledgements, where appropriate	1 1
