PRECAUTIONARY STEPS FOR INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIMENTS (LANGKAH

BERJAGA- JAGA SEMASA MEMBUAT EKSPERIMEN)

No.

Type of experiment
involving;

Precautions that can be taken

Light

a. Experiment must be carried out in darkened room.

b. Lens, screen and object must be in line
c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye perpendicular tothe scale
of the ruler.

Spring

a. Make sure the spring is not loaded beyond the elastic limit. (spring
return to original length when load is taken off).
b. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye perpendicular to the scale
of the ruler.
c. Repeat the experiment 4 times and calculate the average.

Ticker tape

a. Make sure the tape runs freely through the ticker tape.
b. Repeat the experiment 4 times and calculate the average.

Electric

a. All connections must be secure/tight.

b. Off the switch after readings are taken to prevent wires from
heating up (resistance increase)
c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye perpendicular to the scale
of the ammeter/ voltmeter.
d. Repeat the experiment 4 times and calculate the average.

5.

Heat

a. Liquid must be stirred constantly so that temperature rises evenly.

b. Alluminium 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. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye perpendicular to the scale
of the thermometer.
e. Repeat the experiment 4 times and calculate the average.

6.

Sound wave

a. Experiment must carry out at open space to avoid echo

inteference
b. Repeat the experiment 4 times and calculate the average.
