Answering Technique Biology Paper 3
SPS are critical, analytical and creative thinking skills which enable a scientist to formulate
questions and find out the answer.
There are twelve science process skills that need to be developed in the Biology curriculum,
which are
• Observing
• Classifying
• Measuring and using numbers
• Making inference
• Predicting
• Communicating
• Using space time relationship
• Interpreting data
• Defining operationally
• Controlling variable
• Hypothesising
• Experimenting
But for certain experiment, where the condition is not value like types of water
(BOD experiment) or RV shows positive result in only one condition like Ph value
(effect of activity of yeast and effect of activity of an enzyme experiment).
Able to state all the column’s titles with correct unit 1 mark
Able to state all manipulated variable 1 mark
Able to write down all the data in the correct column 1 mark
Total 3 marks
Axes – label both axes with correct title and unit 1 mark
Point – plot all points correctly 1 mark
Shape – all points are connected smoothly, started 1 mark
from 1st point (not necessary starting from the origin),
by free hand and not using ruler
Total 3 marks
The higher / lower MV, the higher / lower RV because more / less reason 1 so
more / less reason 2

1 List all the material and apparatus with the help of labelled
diagram provided in the question
2 List all the materials and apparatus that used in the experiment
according to their variables
