91153 Biological Practical Investigation - School Use

This resource covers the things you'll need to know and be able to do for the NCEA Level 2 Achievement Standard 91153 (Biology 2.1) Carry out a practical investigation in a biological context, with supervision.

What you'll learn

In this resource you'll learn to:

• review the basic process and skills you, as a developing scientist, need to follow when it comes to planning, carrying out and reporting on a practical investigation in biology
• practise these skills on some 'example' investigations.

This resource follows on from:

• the Level 1 Science Investigations Skills resource where you were introduced to the basics of how to plan, carry out and report a science skills investigation
• 90925 Practical investigations in Biology where you learned some additional biological techniques you might need to know for biological investigations (e.g. transect and quadrat sampling, culturing micro-organisms, preparing slides for and using a microscope) as well as common sources of error when it comes to biology investigations and how to avoid or minimise these.

You should work through those two resources before completing this one.
