Looking at Cells
Ever wondered what actually makes up living things? This practical gets you up close with plant and animal cells using a microscope to see structures invisible to the naked eye.
You'll start by preparing an onion cell slide - carefully peeling off a thin layer of onion skin and mounting it with iodine stain. The iodine is crucial because it makes the nucleus and other cell structures visible against the transparent cell contents.
The key skill here is proper microscope technique. Always start with low power magnification and gradually increase to high power. This prevents you from crashing the objective lens into your slide and ruining your sample.
Top Tip: When focusing, always move the stage away from the objective lens while looking through the eyepiece - this prevents slide breakage!

Effect of pH on Amylase Enzyme Activity
Enzymes are incredibly picky about their working conditions, and this practical proves just how much pH affects enzyme activity. You'll watch as amylase breaks down starch at different pH levels and time how long it takes.
The clever bit is using iodine solution as your detector. Normally, iodine turns blue-black with starch, but when all the starch gets digested by amylase, the iodine stays brown. This colour change tells you exactly when the reaction is complete.
You'll test different buffer solutions from pH 3.0 to 7.0, timing how long each takes to digest the starch completely. The faster the digestion, the higher the enzyme activity - it's that simple.
Watch Out: Take samples every 30 seconds and rinse your glass rod between tests to avoid contamination affecting your results.

of 10
Food Tests
These qualitative chemical tests are your detective toolkit for identifying what's actually in different foods. Each test uses a specific reagent that produces a distinctive colour change when it meets its target molecule.
The iodine test for starch is the simplest - just add a few drops and look for the dramatic change from brown to blue-black. Benedict's test for reducing sugars requires heating and produces a brick-red precipitate that's unmistakable when present.
Protein testing uses Biuret reagent, which contains copper sulphate and sodium hydroxide. A positive result turns the solution from blue to purple. These colour changes become second nature once you've done them a few times.
Safety First: Biuret reagent is corrosive and Benedict's test involves hot water baths - always wear safety goggles and handle chemicals with care.
4
of 10
Test for Lipids
The emulsion test for lipids works completely differently from the other food tests. Instead of colour changes, you're looking for the formation of a cloudy white emulsion when lipids are present.
First, you dissolve your food sample in ethanol, then pour this mixture into distilled water. If lipids are present, they can't dissolve in water, so they form tiny droplets that create a milky white emulsion on the surface.
This test is brilliant because it's so visual - there's no subtle colour change to interpret. You either get a clear emulsion or you don't, making it one of the most reliable food tests you'll perform.
Remember: Keep ethanol away from any flames as it's highly flammable - safety always comes first in the lab.
5
of 10
Osmosis Investigation
Osmosis is water movement across cell membranes, and potato cylinders are perfect for investigating this process. You'll create different sugar concentrations and measure how much water moves in or out of the potato cells.
Cut identical potato cylinders and weigh them accurately before placing each in different sugar solution concentrations. After 15 minutes, the cylinders will have gained or lost water depending on whether the solution was weaker or stronger than the potato cells.
The magic happens when you plot your results - the point where the line crosses zero change in mass tells you the concentration that's isotonic to the potato cells. This is where water movement is balanced in both directions.
Precision Matters: Use the same drying technique for all cylinders and measure masses to the nearest 0.01g for reliable percentage change calculations.
6
of 10
Microbiology - Testing Antiseptics
This practical shows you how antiseptics and antibiotics actually work by creating clear zones where bacteria can't survive. It's like seeing the battle between chemicals and microbes in real time.
You'll place different antiseptics on filter paper discs and put them on bacterial cultures growing on agar plates. After 48 hours in the incubator, effective antiseptics create clear zones of inhibition around each disc.
Measuring these clear zones tells you which antiseptic is most effective - larger zones mean stronger antimicrobial action. The technique requires careful sterile procedures to avoid contaminating your results with unwanted microbes.
Sterile Technique: Always work near a flame, use sterile forceps, and never remove the lid when measuring - contamination ruins everything!
7
of 10
Photosynthesis Investigation
Light intensity dramatically affects how fast plants photosynthesise, and this practical uses clever chemistry to measure the rate. You'll use bicarbonate indicator that changes colour as CO₂ levels change during photosynthesis.
Set up your pondweed or algal beads at different distances from a light source. As photosynthesis increases, the plant uses more CO₂, making the indicator solution more alkaline and changing its colour from yellow through red to purple.
The inverse square law applies here - doubling the distance quarters the light intensity. This gives you a proper scientific relationship to plot between light intensity and photosynthesis rate.
Control Variables: Use a water bath between the light and your sample to prevent temperature changes from affecting your results.
8
of 10
Respiration Investigation
Measuring respiration rate requires a clever setup called a respirometer that tracks oxygen consumption. As organisms respire, they use oxygen and produce CO₂, which gets absorbed by soda lime, creating a pressure change.
The coloured liquid in the capillary tube moves as the organisms consume oxygen, giving you a direct measurement of oxygen uptake. The faster the liquid moves, the higher the respiration rate - it's beautifully simple once set up properly.
You'll calculate respiration rate per unit mass of organism, allowing fair comparisons between different samples. The technique works brilliantly with maggots, germinating seeds, or small invertebrates.
Handle With Care: Living organisms need gentle handling and proper conditions - stressed animals will give unreliable results.
9
of 10
Field Investigation
Ecological sampling gets you out of the lab and into real habitats to study how organisms are distributed in nature. You'll use quadrats and transects to gather quantitative data about plant populations.
Random sampling with quadrats gives you population estimates across large areas. Generate random coordinates, count organisms in each quadrat, then scale up to estimate total population size using the formula provided.
Transect sampling reveals how environmental gradients affect distribution. Lay your tape measure from one habitat to another and sample at regular intervals to see how species abundance changes with conditions like light or moisture.
Expect Variation: Natural populations are never uniform - that's why multiple samples and class data are essential for reliable conclusions.
