    I did the exact same field study at The Kippure estate(Athdown brook). For the results, conclusion and evaluation sections you want to have 9 srp's (short related points) as this is what its marked on by the examiner.

    EG: "I discovered from my results using the charts and graphs included opposite(on the graph paper beside), that the lower course at: (grid reference) had a much larger water discharge at a much slower rate...this is because...(mention gradient, area, river features etc...)"

    In that short paragraph all the bold itallic sections are a short related point.

    When doing the results section first group the results of your two tests...then the conclusions of both tests..then the evaluation of both tests. Always use highlighted sub headings.

    And all that should swing you full marks in the results section ;)

    SRP Stands for Significant Relevant Point, not short related point!!

    Yup its significant relevant point. Those are conclusions not results. You have 3 srps there you just need to flesh them out a bit.
    1-had a much larger discharge in lc because...
    2-larger gradient in uc because...
    3-Larger csa in lc because...
    Those would be 3 srps for conclusion.
    Stating what the 3results are would be 3 srps for results
    Three things that went well or what you could change would be 3 srps for evaluation.

    Anyone else agree with me?

    hey... quick question.... how do you do a pie chart for bedload analysis? or what other graph could you do for it? :)
    Yours,
