00:00.000 --> 00:04.360
In this video we will discuss how to create your raw data table.

00:04.360 --> 00:07.400
We will look at formatting and headings.

00:07.400 --> 00:12.320
Your raw data table is marked under the analysis criterion.

00:12.320 --> 00:16.560
I suggest that you create this table before doing your experiment, because it helps you

00:16.560 --> 00:21.400
think about the process and saves you time as you can just enter the collected data straight

00:21.400 --> 00:23.560
into the table.

00:23.560 --> 00:28.640
As for formatting, it's relatively straightforward, just include your independent variable, your

00:28.680 --> 00:34.880
independent variable values, your dependent variable and space for enough trials.

00:34.880 --> 00:38.920
You should have a minimum of three trials, I recommend five.

00:38.920 --> 00:44.820
The table headings for your variables should include their name, their symbol and the unit,

00:44.820 --> 00:48.920
and you should include an uncertainty value for each variable.

00:48.920 --> 00:53.720
It's a small detail, but it's important to note that symbols are italics, while units

00:53.720 --> 00:55.680
should not be nitelics.

00:55.680 --> 00:59.440
We will discuss uncertainties in more detail in a later video.

00:59.440 --> 01:03.840
For now, just notice that uncertainty values should be given to the same number of decimal

01:03.840 --> 01:07.640
places as your independent variable values.

01:07.640 --> 01:13.040
We are finished with step 4, action 1, and now you know how to create your raw data table.

01:13.040 --> 01:16.360
In the next video we will discuss how to carry out your experiment.
