    DTT - Practical Skills in Biology

    Uploaded by

    AP
    This document provides guidance on practical skills in biology, including how to design experiments, interpret results, and suggest improvements. It discusses key concepts like the purpose and interpretation of variables in an experiment (A and B), how to describe trends in data by commenting on peaks and troughs while backing it up with data points and units. It also provides an example of a student experiment on the effect of auxin concentrations on plant growth and recommends questions to ask the student, such as whether variables like volume, repeats, time, light, temperature, and carbon dioxide were controlled. The overall purpose is to teach students how to properly design, analyze, and evaluate biology experiments.

    DTT- Practical skills in Biology

    D- Diagnosis
    T-Therapy
    T-Testing
    15 minutes to complete Diagnostic test
    Review:
    Designing an experiment- variables
    What is the purpose of A and B?
    What do they show?
    Interpreting results- trends
    A student investigates the effect of different
    concentrations of auxin on plant shoot and root growth.
    Below are the results:
    Describe- Say what you see! Comment on peaks, troughs and use data points to back up your
    description- don’t forget units!

    Explain- Give scientific reasoning for why there are peaks, troughs and link this to theory.
    Suggesting improvements- are there any limitations?

    Your task- Come up with some questions to ask the student that did this practical.

    • Did they use the same volume of auxin concentration?


    • Did they do any repeats? (What is the purpose of this?)
    • How much time did they allow before checking growth? Was this
    amount of time sufficient?
    • Were other variables such as light, temperature and carbon dioxide
    concentration controlled?
    • What impact would this have had on their results?
    Your task-
    15 minutes to complete Final test
