 PRECAUTION STEPS FOR
INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIMENTS

TYPE OF
NO. EXPERIMENT PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN
INVOLVING
1 Light a. Do the experiment in a dark room to get clear and sharp image
b. Lens, screen and object must be in line and of same level
c. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of meter
rule to avoid parallax error

2 Spring a. Make sure the spring is not loaded beyond the elastic limit
(spring return to original length when load is taken off)
b. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of meter
rule to avoid parallax error

3 Electric / Electronic
a. Make sure all the connections are correctly and tightly
b. Switch off the circuit after taking the reading to avoid over
heating of the wires (resistance increase)
c. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of
ammeter / voltmeter to avoid parallax error

4 Heat a. Stirred the liquid constantly, so the temperature rises evenly

b. Aluminium block must be wrapped with insulating material to
prevent heat lost
c. Thermometer bulb should be smeared with oil to give better
thermal contact with the block
d. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of
thermometer to avoid parallax error

5 Measuring instrument Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of .........................
such as ammeter, (instrument) to avoid parallax error
voltmeter, meter rule
etc.

1. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the length, ℓ, of an elastic cord pulling
a trolley and the acceleration, a, of the trolley as it moves down an inclined plane.
The experiment is carried out using a ticker-timer and ticker-tape. The results of this experiment are shown in the
graph of a against ℓ in Diagram 1.1.
