A-level Biology: Practical and Experimental Design - Top Tips and Question Pack

Top Tips !

  • Never write "amount" you mean mass, volume or concentration. 
  • Refer to "a control experiment" or "a variable that I will control (and then name the value and method of control)" but never to "a control variable"
