This lesson guides students through the use of a chi-squared test to determine the significance of the difference between observed and expected results. It is fully-resourced with a detailed PowerPoint and differentiated worksheets that have been designed to cover point (d) in topic 3 of A2 unit 4 of the WJEC A-level Biology specification

The lesson includes a step-by-step guide to demonstrates how to carry out the test in small chunks. At each step, time is taken to explain any parts which could cause confusion and helpful hints are provided to increase the likelihood of success in exam questions on this topic. Students will understand how to use the phenotypic ratio to calculate the expected numbers and then how to find the critical value in order to compare it against the chi-squared value. A worked example is used to show the working which will be required to access the marks and then the main task challenges the students to apply their knowledge to a series of questions of increasing difficulty.

This lesson has been specifically designed to tie in with the previous lessons in this topic as there are regular references to dihybrid inheritance as well as to topics in the AS units like meiosis
