Your assignment has two stages:

  • research
  • report

Your teacher or lecturer will let you know if there are any specific conditions for doing this assessment, and tell you how the assignment will be carried out.

In this assignment, you have to investigate a topic in biology.

Your research involves gathering:

  • data from an experiment
  • data/information from internet/literature source(s)

You then produce a report on your investigation.

Your teacher or lecturer will not mark your report at any point. It is sent to SQA for marking.
