A few of you have been asking about the Research Investigation (or 'RI'). This is a task which we will start in December and will be completed some time in March. It will involve you running an experiment in a group, and then writing an extended lab report individually. These reports are submitted to the SQA, and count for 20% of your overall grade in the course.
The topics are set by the SQA, though the details of how the experiments are carried out are up to you. I like this year's topics - one is on the use of images to help with memory, and the other is on the effects of a 'stressor' on a bodily response such as heart rate. Both should be pretty straightforward to carry out and write up. Usually students find this part of the course enjoyable, so I hope it will be again this year.
