CAPE PLANNING AND DESIGN LABS 2016

 Select TWO of the following to write up as P&D Labs (1) Problem Question: Question : a. Can a person person get get intoxi intoxicat cated ed from from eating eating bread bread dough dough?? (2) Problem Sttement Stteme nt s a. Jane observed observed that that when she went went into the the pool she she could could see her toes clearly clearly..

However when she went into the same height of water in the sea she was more challenged to see her toes clearly. (!) Problem Sttement Stteme nt a. Algal Bloom Bloom is seen seen more prolifi prolificc where there there is run off off from from farmer farmer Brown’s Brown’s garden than where there is run off from the itchen sin. (") Problem Sttement Stteme nt a. !r. Harry "bserve "bserved d that when when his # year old daughter daughter ran up the flight flight of of steps her chest was heaving more heavily than when his $% year old daughter did the same activity.

PLANNING AND DESIGN LABS GUIDE LABS MUST BE WRITTEN IN THE PRESENT TENSE (INSTRUCTIVE LANGUAGE)

 The general format format for P/D P/D SBAs in Biology Biology are as follows:

Title- what the experiment is about or linked to

Problem Statement !b"er#ation Te"t $%e"tion - written here as gi!en by your tea"her or in some "ases what you are asked to "ome up with #i!en your

H&'ote"i" - must be "learly stated$ based on the obser!ation$ and stated so that it "an be tested

A''arat%"- must in"lude all ne"essary and appropriate materials to be used

Meto- pro"edures to be followed$ a suitable "ontrol must be stated All pro"edures must be written "learly and logi"ally so that the experiment "an a"tually be "arried out by someone reading it

E*'e+te Re"%lt" - must be "learly stated %ften times this is the stru"ture/outline of a table or graph that you would use / produ"e if you "arried out the experiment &t in"ludes 'ualitati!e !alues( other times it is a short paragraph des"ribing what you would expe"t the results to be

Inter'retation" o, te re"%lt"- )ere you seek to explain your suggested expe"ted results *ou refer to the rele!ant theory to support your position

Limitation"- any short"omings of the design whi"h may be"ome sour"es of errors

Planning and Designing Labs  aim to develop the following skills:

- identify problems, make predictions, and develop hypotheses and devise means of carrying out investigations to test the hypotheses; - plan and execute experimental procedures and operations in an appropriate sequence; - use experimental controls where appropriate; - modify an original plan or sequence of operations as a result of difficulties encountered in carrying out experiments or obtaining unexpected results; - take into account possible sources of errors and danger in the design of an experiment; - select and use appropriate equipment and techniques. Planning and Designing skills may be assessed by use of fieldwork
