All steps completed. Method could have more fully detailed how the experiment was to be run for example how were the rock and twig immersed together. While the results table is clear and easy to follow it needs to be under a 'Results' heading. We found the materials and method a little hard to follow without the photos - what were the plastic bag, spoon and elastic band for? **3 / 4**

The experiment was interesting and clearly demonstrated that the temperature of water has an effect on how quickly items sink - although the effect seemed to be more on the absorbency of the chart paper and cloth materials than the effect on the rock or twig. **2 / 3**
 * (iii) Was the experiment informative and interesting?**
