(0)
This 18 slide ppt is covering the New AQA AS Biology requirements for planning an experiment, processing the data, presenting data, drawing conclusions and evaluating data. It was made so I can use each section when carrying out experiments and showing students - key words, apparatus, equipment and techniques what is required for the New syllabus when carrying out scientific experiments. Can be used over many lessons, or each time an experiment is completed to reinforce standards required. Each slide(s) covers a specific area required for the scientific experiments: 1. Planning - keywords, apparatus, equipment and techniques 2.How to produce the perfect table 3. Risk assessments 4.Percentages, percentage changes, averages, ratios and SD 5. Perfect graphs, finding rates an 6. Correlation and causation 7. Errors in measurements, minimising errors 8. Evaluation Thank you for taking the time to look at my resource and I hope you find it beneficial.

A Level Statistics - SD, SE & Student T-test Helpsheet and worksheets

(0)
I put these sheets together to work through how to calculate SD, SE and Student T-Test for my A level Biologists. It is an easy to follow format and can then be used to answer the questions attached. Individual class packs for the statistical tests (SD, SE and Student t test) follow on from the helpsheet. Can be set in class or for homework. I also use them as a review before the exams. My biologists found it very straight forward, easy to follow and then went on to ace their stats questions. Hope it could be helpful to others.
