I use this resource to teach the basics for paper 5 for 9700 Biology A Level. I teach this over 3 full hour lessons or a bit more. It includes:
Lesson 1 (slides 1-10): students learn how to plan an investigation.
Lesson 2 (slides 11-24): students learn about independent, dependent and controlled variables, describing the steps in an investigation, assessing risks and start the basic math skills for evaluating data by using statistics to include mean, range, interval…
Lesson 3 (slides 25-end): more statistics to include standard deviation, standard error and confidence intervals, error bars, t-test and tips to best evaluate their evidence and state a relevant conclusion.
The slides include some activities so that students can practice these skills.
I hope you find it useful.

Serial and simple dilutions
Graphs practice
The theory behind the practicals
You will find a compilation of activities for students to fill that also includes some math skills and planning investigations so that they have in this booklet everything they need for their official exams (except plan diagrams).
I use this booklet in combination with the “Dilutions for AS Biology” power point so that I can explain the method before they complete the activities.
