Core Practicals – GCSE Biology

Microscopy: Plant & Animal Cells

Use a microscope to observe and compare cell structures. Learn magnification and slide preparation.

Osmosis in Plant Cells

Test how different salt/sugar solutions affect potato mass. Understand osmosis and water movement.

Photosynthesis Rate

Investigate how light or CO₂ levels affect oxygen production in pondweed. Learn about limiting factors.

Enzyme Activity & Temperature

Examine how temperature impacts enzyme reactions like catalase breaking down hydrogen peroxide.

Food Tests (Starch, Sugar, Protein)

Use reagents like iodine and biuret to test foods for starch, glucose, and proteins.

Effect of pH on Enzymes

Test how pH levels impact amylase activity on starch. Identify optimal pH and enzyme denaturation.

Transpiration in Plants

Use quadrats to count plant species in different areas. Learn about biodiversity and distribution.

Respiration in Yeast

Measure CO₂ from yeast during fermentation. Explore anaerobic respiration and sugar breakdown.

Respiration in Yeast

Measure CO₂ from yeast during fermentation. Explore anaerobic respiration and sugar breakdown.

Tips for Doing Practical Experiments:

Understand the Theory First

Before starting any experiment, ensure you grasp the biological concept behind it. This helps you set up the practical correctly and make sense of the outcomes.

Follow Safety Guidelines

Always review safety rules before beginning. Some experiments involve chemicals or heat, so use goggles, gloves, and other protective gear as required.

Record Data Carefully

Accurate data collection is key—whether you're timing a reaction, measuring mass changes, or counting bubbles. Stay consistent and precise.

Interpret Your Results

Go beyond just collecting data. Learn to analyze what your results mean and how they connect to the biological principles being tested.
