CORMS in IGCSE BIOLOGY ??

The Use Of CORMS

I have been taught this in school. But I have a question.

We use CORMS to help us design a experiment and help to analyse experiments.
But can we USE CORMS in writing how to perform an experiment. OR should we definitely write in prose?
Like can we write...
C- blah blah balh
O- blah blah blah
R- blah blah blah
M- blah blah blah
S-blah blah blah and blah

And hope to get full marks? Or should we waste time and struggle writing it in prose (cutting and chopping)??? :rolleyes:

It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out Coursework.Info, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

You can write down the letters to ensure that you are making the correct points but I would recommend writing in full sentences. It doesn't have to beautifully written - a single, simple sentence for each of C, O, R, M₁, M₂, S₁, S₂ is enough to get you the marks.
C is for Change - you need to state the variable that you will be changing in the investigation (i.e. the independent variable).
O is for Organism - you need to state what organism you will be using and give a few details about this organism (e.g. species, age, mass, etc.).
M₁ is for Measurement 1 - you need to state what you will be measuring in the investigation (i.e. the dependent variable).
M₂ is for Measurement 2 - you need to state WHEN, meaning how frequently, and HOW you will measure the dependent variable, meaning the method of measurement as well as the unit of measurement.
S₁ and S₂ are for Same 1 and Same 2 - you need to give two control variables (variables that you will keep the same).
