This resource is designed to support students preparing their Chemistry in Practice Investigation as part of the Leaving Certificate Chemistry Additional Assessment Component.

The guide provides structured support to help students organise their investigation and review their work before submission. It includes clear explanations of investigation structure, self-assessment checklists aligned with the investigation rubric, guidance on presenting data and analysis, and referencing support.

The material focuses on helping students develop strong scientific investigation and communication skills, including:

• Structuring a Chemistry in Practice investigation report clearly
• Identifying variables and designing a fair test
• Presenting and analysing experimental data
• Writing clear scientific conclusions and reflections
• Referencing background research correctly

The resource also includes practical student checklists that can be used to review an investigation before final submission.

This guide is intended as a general study and support resource to help students develop strong investigation and scientific writing skills.

This resource is an independently produced educational support guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State Examinations Commission (SEC). It is intended to provide general guidance on investigation structure and scientific writing.

Important Notice

This document is a sample Chemistry in Practice investigation created to illustrate the structure, layout, and scientific communication that may be expected in a student investigation.

This sample is based on the publicly released sample brief (Solids, Liquids and Gases) that was provided when the Additional Assessment Component was first introduced. It is not the current live brief and is provided for illustrative purposes only.

The purpose of this sample is to help teachers and students understand how an investigation might be organised, including:

• Structuring a research question and hypothesis

• Presenting background research

• Designing and conducting an experiment

• Displaying data in tables and graphs

• Writing analysis, evaluation, and conclusions

This document represents one teacher’s interpretation of how an investigation could be presented. It is not an official document of the State Examinations Commission (SEC) and does not represent an official marking scheme.

The sample is intended only as a general reference for structure, layout, and scientific communication. It should not be interpreted as a template that guarantees any particular grade.

Teachers remain responsible for ensuring that all student work complies with current SEC regulations, the official annual brief, and school policy.

This independently developed Teacher Guidance & Compliance Masterpack is designed to support teachers in interpreting and implementing the publicly available Chemistry in Practice (CIP) brief.

The resource provides structured guidance to assist with:

• Understanding the requirements of the 2027 brief

• Supporting students in developing clear investigative structure

• Reinforcing scientific standards in research, design, data analysis and evaluation

• Maintaining appropriate supervision and authentication procedures

• Promoting consistency and clarity in investigative practice

The pack includes structured section-by-section guidance, student self-monitoring tools, supervision templates, and clarification prompts aligned with the official brief.

This resource is intended to support professional practice and structured supervision. It does not replace official SEC documentation and does not provide corrective feedback guidance or draft-editing support. All assessment decisions remain subject to official marking schemes and regulations.

Designed by an experienced teacher, this pack aims to provide practical, balanced and compliance-focused support for schools overseeing the Chemistry in Practice investigation.

3. Data, Evidence & Conclusions
   Analytical judgement, anomaly treatment, correlation vs causation, sample size evaluation.

4. Models & Abstraction
   Evaluating assumptions, limitations, predictive power, and representation in chemistry.

5. Chemistry in Society
   Ethical considerations, sustainability, scientific literacy, and evaluation of public claims.

Total: 58 high-quality, exam-style questions.
