Description
HODDER STOUGHTON EDUCATIONAL Cambridge IGCSE® Biology Laboratory Practical Book by Mike Cole
Improve your students' scientific skills and report writing with achievable experiments and simple structured guidance.This Laboratory Practical Book supports the teaching and learning of the practical assessment element of the Cambridge IGCSE Biology Syllabus. Using this book, students will interpret and evaluate experimental observations and data. They will also plan investigations, evaluate methods and suggest possible improvements.- Demonstrates the essential techniques, apparatus, and materials that students require to become accomplished scientists- Improves the quality of written work with guidance, prompts and experiment writing frames - Develops experimental skills and abilities through a series of investigations- Prepares students for the Practical paper or the Alternative, with past exam questionsAnswers are available on the Teacher's CD: http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/Product?Product=9781444196306This title has not been through the Cambridge International endorsement process. : EXPERIMENTAL SKILLS AND ABILITIES: Scientific enquiry: Using and organizing apparatus and materials: Observing, measuring and recording: Handling experimental observations and data: Planning, carrying out and evaluating investigations: EXPERIMENTS1: Characteristics and classification of living organisms1.1: Dichotomous keys2: Organisation and maintenance of the organism2.1: Plant cells2.2: Animal cells3: Movement in and out of cells3.1: Osmosis and water flow3.2: Turgor in potato tissue3.3: Osmosis and turgor3.4: Plasmolysis3.5: Partial permeability (dialysis)4: Biological molecules4.1: Food tests4.2: Application of the food tests5: Enzymes5.1: Extracting and testing an enzyme5.2: The effect of temperature on enzyme reaction5.3: The effect of pH on enzyme reaction6: Plant nutrition6.1: Is cholorophyll necessary for photosynthesis?6.2: Is light necessary for photosynthesis?6.3: Is carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis?6.4: Is oxygen produced during photosynthesis?6.5: The effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis6.6: Gaseous exchange during photosynthesis6.7: The importance of different mineral elements7: Human nutrition7.1: Energy from food8: Transport in plants8.1: Transport in vascular bundles8.2: Rates of water uptake in different conditions8.3: To find which surface of a leaf loses more water vapour9: Transport in animals9.1: Physical activity and pulse rate10: Diseases and immunity11: Gas exchange in humans11.1: Oxygen in exhaled air11.2: Carbon dioxide in exhaled air11.3: Volume of air in the lungs12: Respiration12.1: Using up oxygen during respiration12.2: Releasing energy in respiration12.3: Anaerobic respiration in yeast13: Excretion in humans14: Co-ordination and response14.1: Gravitropism in pea radicles14.2: Phototropism in shoots14.3: Region of response15: Drugs16: Reproduction16.1: Insect pollinated flowers16.2: The growth of pollen tubes16.3: Germination: the need for water16.4: Germination: the need for oxygen16.5: Temperature and germination17: Inheritance18: Variation and selection19: Organisms and their environment20: Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering20.1: The effect of pectinase on fruit pulp21: Human influences on ecosystems22: Past exam questions22.1: Practical past exam questions22.2: Alternative to practical past exam questions
