Example of article from The Physics Teacher: The Physics Teacher, Vol. 5, Issue 4 pages 160-163, 1967 “A student exercise for determining the average density of a celestial body by a limiting process” by T. E. Pomeroy. Online video analysis: Vernier’s LoggerPro https://www.vernier.com/product/logger-pro-3/ This programme allows the student to insert a video for analysis. The video can be one made by the student or one found online. The LoggerPro software comes with hundreds of videos. The student calibrates the scale, tracks the motion, and then can analyze the result.

Geography: Websites and data sources will depend on the nature of the research and on the specific location. It is important to focus on local studies and, even more than ever, in contexts that are familiar to the candidates (such as the local city or neighbourhood). Local census data and available databases are highly recommended.
