This book is specially written for
students taking Biology at GCE 'O' Level. It contains experiments designed to
train students to:
* become familiar with standard experimental
techniques;
* follow instructions closely, within a given period of
time;
* make clear and annotated drawings of biological
specimens;
* assemble apparatus and set up suitable
controls;
* record observations and measurements;
* display
and interpret experimental data; and
* make logical deductions,
explanations and conclusions.
In keeping with the current trend, a
number of relevant investigations have been chosen to introduce students to data
loggers and sensors. In each of these investigations, the conventional procedure
as well as the one using data loggers, has been provided. This gives teachers
the flexibility of choosing the procedure according to their needs. In line with
the format prescribed for future practical examinations, we have incorporated
modification/extension questions into the practicals. We have also included a
selection of challenging past-year examination questions for practice. The pages
of this book are perforated for the convenience of both students and
teachers.
