In every question:

Source of error: Two readings are insufficient to determine proportionality between [variable X] and [variable Y].

Source of improvement: At least six readings should be taken, a graph should be plotted, and the proportionality should be determined according to the line made in that graph.

Also, make sure your limitations correspond to the improvements. E.g. Improvement 1 should coincide with limitation 1, and so on and so forth.

Edit: Could someone please tell me (or link me to) what a heat experiment is?

its not important AT ALL for improvements and limitations to match or concide......

the heating question is actually quiet new,theres never been a question like it before.....we'll have to measure either the rise or fall of temperature with a thermometer :)

Several sources told me that it does matter. You tell me it doesn't. I don't know for sure, but I'm going to play it safe and make them coincide anyway. It's not like it'll hurt to do so. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not saying you're right either.

As for the heat question, it's been in a past paper before. Nov 11/35 IIRC. I just found out in another thread. :p
