Key Stage 3

Meaning

A Table of Results is a way to order the observations and measurements taken during an investigation to make them easier to write and present to others.

About Tables of Results

In a table of results the independent variable goes on the left hand column and the dependent variable goes on the right.
A table of results does not usually include a control variable as it would just be repeated in one column.
The top row of a table of results includes a description of the quantity in that column.
If a column includes results that were measured then the top row will also include the units for that measurement.
Tables of Results are also used for simple data processing such as calculating an average from repeats of an experiment.
