Session (0.3.4) Managing Results from Investigations

Partial Progress - Circles (browser only)

Introduction

When you carry out an investigation, you usually take measurements. These measurements should be recorded in a results table. An example is shown below:

Results table:

Temperature of 20cm³HCl(aq) acid / ⁰C	Time taken for 1cm Mg strip to finish reacting / s
10	120
20	65
30	45
40	30
50	15

Note that the units, such as degrees Centigrade (⁰C) for temperature or seconds (s) for time to react, are placed in the heading and not in the body of the table.

Task

Create a results table to display the information recorded from an investigation into the effects of temperature on the activity of the enzyme catalase on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen gas. The information is available in the download file below.

Note: you will be using the results in this table for the next activity too.
