: You can '''evaluate''' your [[results]] by comparing them to the [[results]] you expected or the [[results]] from other people. This allows you to decide whether to trust your [[results ]] or whether you need to find a way to improve your [[experiment]].

===ExamplesExample===

: To find out how watering sunlight affects the growth of cress.''Prediction'': The cress that gets sunlight will grow green shoots and the ones in the dark won't.

: 2. Half of the pots were placed on the window sill and half on in a desk.cupboard: 3. The plants on the desk were watered cress was observed every dayto see how they were growing.: 4.

==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===An [[evaluation]] can be when problems with a [[method]] are identified and improvements are suggested, or can be when a [[conclusion]] is compared to the [[results]] to decide if the results are convincing enough to make that [[conclusion]]. ===About Evaluations===: An [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] seeks to find sources of [[Experimental Error|}error]] in the [[experiment]] that could have caused bad [[results]].: The [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] usually includes suggested ways to improve the experiment, by removing the sources of [[Experimental Error|error]].: An [[evaluation]] of a [[conclusion]] decides whether the [[results]] were good enough to make the [[conclusion]] or whether more, or better, [[results]] are needed. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===An [[evaluation]] can be when problems with a [[method]] are identified and improvements are suggested, or can be when a [[conclusion]] is compared to the [[results]] to decide if the results are convincing enough to make that [[conclusion]]. ===About Evaluations===: An [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] seeks to find sources of [[Experimental Error|error]] in the [[experiment]] that could have caused bad [[results]].: The [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] usually includes suggested ways to improve the experiment, by removing the sources of [[Experimental Error|error]].: An [[evaluation]] of a [[conclusion]] decides whether the [[results]] were good enough to make the [[conclusion]] or whether more, or better, [[results]] are needed. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=47c8d1ae58d8b3a5e2094cd447154558 ''Evaluation, page 270, GCSE Chemistry;
