1. 1.       A good research question will include both dependent and independent variables.

2. 2.       Be sure to explain how you will monitor controlled variables.

3. 3.       A good research question will involve collection of Quantitative and Qualitative data.

4. 4.       Be very precise on the details.  Avoid vague descriptions.   Examples include:  concentrations of solutions, specific substance names, size of equipment used (250 mL beaker), etc�

5. 5.       Get at least 5 data points/vary the independent variable at least 5 times.

6. 6.       Do at least 3 trials of each data point.

7. 7.       Create a data table with units and uncertainties even if you aren�t actually going to collect the data in class.  This will allow you to think about what you will be doing.

8. Note: This investigation can address some very meaningful chemistry, but students should try to avoid trivial investigations such as the effect of changing the volume of solvent. Also many students confuse �solubility� with �rate of dissolution�.  Please be aware that they are not the same thing.
