Is starting to p1ss me off a little bit now. 
Won't go through the explanation of the whole experiment, basically comes down to I work out a gradient of a line of best fit on a graph and call that number A. Then on a seperate graph with the same points make maximum and minimum gradients to show how the value could vary.
Got my gradient - no problem, near enough what I predicted it to be. Work out my minimum gradient, fair bit of difference between that and normal gradient. Work out maximum gradient, seems ok untill I realise, the maximum gradient is lower than my other gradient.
It's the equivalent of saying; the answer is 6.
However it could be anywhere between 4 and 5.
And I am now out of graph paper, will have to get some more tommorrow, try and track down physics teacher (I don't have physics tommorrow) and find out what to do. Chances are I will have to completely redo the max/min graphs.
And to add insult to injury that was probably the best graph I had ever drawn. I'm quite good at physics but where I seem to lose out is drawing graphs for it. I'm going to put this down to dyspraxia but I always get mixed up with which boxes and lines line up along the paper, which line is which value, where points are meant to go, ect. It's not at all uncommon for me to get through 2 or 3 pieces of graph paper trying to plot a few points and draw a line of best fit through them.
Right, too tired to do anything now so will have to do it tommorrow (said I'd have it in for Friday, that is already an extension). Will just have to finish that and the evluation tommorrow.......and the practice maths questions........and the practice chemistry questions........and the chemistry experiment writeup......atleast I have a half-day Thursdays so I'll be home for about 2 o'clock.......
