The Exploration section of your IA experiment is the simplest, providing you know the difference between ‘describe’ and ‘explain’! Hopefully this table below will help you. Remember it is only an example, but it shows how you should have your reasons for your choice clearly explained. And in your IA you do not put this in a table of course, you write it as script, with each of the components as a sub-heading. Good organisation means it is easy for teachers and moderators to understand what you are writing.
