How much assistance can teachers provide for the extended experimental investigation?
• Response: There are many approaches that could be taken to the task. Teachers could decide on the topic or allow students to choose; teachers could provide a template and directions or allow students to submit a design for approval. The format students use to produce a report on their investigation is a decision for the teacher (and/or students). As with all School-assessed Coursework the task should be completed mainly in class time and not add unduly to student workload. Teachers are encouraged to refer to the study design, including the ‘Advice for teachers’ section.
