00:00.000 --> 00:06.600
In this video, we will discuss how to compare your results to the accepted scientific context.

00:06.600 --> 00:13.400
We will see how to refer to your background information and how to draw a final conclusion.

00:13.400 --> 00:17.280
This section is marked under the evaluation criterion.

00:17.280 --> 00:21.960
The key here is to compare your results to the outcome of similar investigations done

00:21.960 --> 00:23.860
by other people.

00:23.860 --> 00:28.760
One example of this is comparing the value you found for a known physical quantity,

00:28.760 --> 00:34.980
for instance gravitational acceleration, to the actual accepted value of this quantity.

00:34.980 --> 00:39.900
Another example would be to find articles about similar experiments and compare your

00:39.900 --> 00:44.660
results to the investigation described in these articles.

00:44.660 --> 00:49.580
In step two, you carried out research and wrote a background information section.

00:49.580 --> 00:54.860
Now it is time to refer back to your initial findings and compare these to the data you

00:54.860 --> 00:56.180
collected.

00:56.180 --> 00:59.980
After this, you will be ready to draw a final conclusion.

00:59.980 --> 01:03.620
Let's see how this is done in the example IA.

01:03.620 --> 01:09.540
Here I refer back to the sources used in my background information section, explain how

01:09.540 --> 01:15.380
they compare with the results, and evaluate my hypothesis based on my data and outside

01:15.380 --> 01:17.020
sources.

01:17.020 --> 01:21.660
This section of the example IA is probably a bit too short and simple to score in the

01:21.660 --> 01:23.140
highest mark band.

01:23.420 --> 01:28.740
However, I decided not to add more information, because for now I wanted to keep things simple

01:28.740 --> 01:30.380
and straightforward.

01:30.380 --> 01:35.540
I will discuss in another video how to maximize your score in this section.

01:35.540 --> 01:41.620
The main takeaway for now is that you should compare your results to the work of others.

01:41.620 --> 01:44.620
This completes step seven action two.

01:44.620 --> 01:49.420
Now you know how to compare your results to the accepted scientific context.

01:49.420 --> 01:54.220
In the next video, we will discuss how to evaluate the strengths of your method.
