Section 1: What is Planning?
The Planning (P) component of Paper 4 tests your ability to design a complete, workable scientific investigation from scratch. You are given a research question and a list of materials, and you must produce a structured experimental plan that a stranger could follow and repeat.
Key Insight: Planning is not just about listing steps. Every mark corresponds to a specific component — hypothesis, variables, method, control, data recording, and risk. You must address ALL components to score full marks.
