This resource provides a sample Chemistry in Practice investigation report designed to demonstrate how a student investigation may be structured as part of the Leaving Certificate Chemistry Additional Assessment Component.

The sample investigation explores a reaction rate experiment and illustrates how scientific theory, experimental design, data collection, analysis and conclusions may be presented within a structured investigation report.

The document includes examples of:

• Research question and hypothesis development
• Background scientific theory
• Experimental design and variables
• Data tables and graphical presentation
• Analysis and interpretation of results
• Evaluation and conclusion sections

This sample is intended as a learning and teaching support resource to help illustrate how a Chemistry in Practice investigation report may be organised and presented.
