Biology Empa AS

I have the Biology Empa 2014 tomorrow and I don't know what we actually do in the lesson. Do we do a practical and then answer questions about it in the same lesson or do we do an proper exam at a later date?

You do an experiment and then answer a few questions about it.

Task 1 is worth 11 marks.

The exam in May is the one where they'll ask you proper questions.

Thank you

. So it's probably worth looking over data handling and reliability/accuracy techniques and questions?

What is the breakdown of marks? Like how many for the experiment/tables/questions?

0 marks for the table.

I don't think they give a mark for the experiment.

Most of the marks are achieved by answering the questions correctly.

There is one 3 mark question.

2marks for the table
5 marks for the graph.
The rest are for the questions.
And a few for the technique of the experiment
