(I'm in year 13) One of my biology teachers told me that, due to covid, I don't have to do any kind of practical assessment and I won't be assessed on my lab book. I double checked this multiple times as I was still doing a lab book for my chemistry A level but she reassured me it would be fine. Now my other biology teacher is saying I have to hand in a full lab book by Monday or I'll fail my practical assessment ! This is really important to me as I want to do a forensics degree 
Is there any way of finding details of all the practicals online ? I can see the required 12 practicals for AQA but I need to write a very detailed lab book showing what I've done. I'm really upset about all this and I'm not sure if others in my class can help me. Any advice / help with the lab book would be really appreciated

This is what the current regs are for Biology practicals https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/scie...anges-for-2022 YOu'll see it says that the minimum number fo practicals is up to your teacher. You need to talk to them.
You can watch the practicals here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L48l...srewpgH2xaEJsT

Look at this doc that shows how you're assessed, it will help you make sure you've ticked off all the points https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resourc...-7402-PHBK.PDF
This site has practical notes and videos (and is often used by A-level students) https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com...ctical-skills/ There will be other sites too.
As long as you have covered the points in the mark schemes and you have demonstrated proficiency in a lab (Covid permitting), you will be fine. Good luck.

Thank you so much, that website is amazing with all the notes and videos. Hopefully I can write up all the observations from the vids by Monday and I'll get a pass
