Big Idea:
• All claims/statements in the conclusion need to be supported by actual evidence (real numbers) from the experiment.

BIG IDEA:
Evaluation is very important to
determine whether the experiment is a
FAIR TEST.
• There may be several minor errors but overall result remains unchanged. • There may be a single error only but may have greatly affected the final result.
