BTEC NQF L3 Applied Science: Unit 2: Assignment A: Titration 2 powerpoint

(2)
Titration of 0.4M hydrochloric acid against 0.2 sodium hydroxide, complete with moles calculations. This is the third out of four experiments within Assignment 2A, and the third out of three experiments for the required titrations. This practical is a requirement within the new Pearson BTEC Level 3 specification (Unit 2 - Assignment A).

Investigating Genetic Diversity

(1)
Carousel / Circus activity on Investigating Genetic Diversity, based on the Magenta Principles. Targeted for AS Biology students (serum reactions, amino acid and DNA comparisons, DNA hybridisation), however introduces some A2 topics (DNA probes, PCR). This activity ran for a whole 90 minutes with students spending 10 minutes at each station, although some students did want to spend more than the allocated time. Challenge questions throughout. Some questions taken from Chapter 10.4 in the AQA Biology A Level Year 1 Student Book by by Glenn Toole and Susan Toole (Oxford University Press - ISBN: 978-0-19-835176-4).
