Repeat
Key Stage 2
Meaning
A repeat is when exactly the same experiment is done again.
About Repeats
- Repeats are an extremely important part of an experiment. If you cannot get the same results a second time, then you can't be sure your experiment gave real results.
- A repeat experiment should be done in exactly the same way as the first experiment.
- We do repeats for two reasons:
1. To check for mistakes in our results called 'anomalies'. 2. To calculate an average when we are taking measurements.
