Image Description

Diagram 1

The diagram shows a set-up for the apparatus used to measure the refraction of light.

Light (represented by a solid straight line) from a laser pointer (represented by a circle on the left of the diagram) passes along a horizontal path through the triangular tank ( a triangle in the centre of the diagram) and is deflected downwards onto a screen (represented by a vertical line).

The horizontal distance between the point of exit of light from the tank to the screen is shown by a dotted line and represented by the capital letter L.

The distance between the points on the screen where the light hits the screen after deflection and where the dotted vertical line hits the screen is represented by the lower case letter ‘d’.

Diagram 2

The diagram shows a Venn diagram with a label of ‘light’ in the left oval and a label of ‘matter’ in the right oval.

The Venn diagram is bisected horizontally by a dotted line with the label ‘wave model’ above the line and ‘particle model’ below the line.

Diagram 3

In the centre of the diagram is the text Scientific investigation process. Around this text are six circles that read clockwise from the top:

  • Curiosity and observation
  • Investigation question
  • Investigation design
  • Data generation and collection
  • Data analysis, interpretation and evaluation
  • Communication of findings

There is a double-head arrow between Curiosity and observation and investigation question. Next to this arrow sit the text Investigation exploration phase

There is a double-head arrow between Investigation question and investigation design. Next to this arrow sit the text Planning phase

There is a double-head arrow between Investigation design and Data generation and collection. Next to this arrow sit the text Investigation phase

There is a single-headed arrow from Data generation and collection to Data analysis, interpretation and evaluation. Next to this arrow sit the text Processing phase

There is a single-headed arrow from Data analysis, interpretation and evaluation to Communication of findings. Next to this arrow sit the text Reporting phase

There is a single-headed arrow from Communication of findings to Curiosity and observation. Next to this arrow sit the text Further investigation phase.
