Complete assignments + reference lists for Unit 2 Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques A: Undertake Titration and Colorimetry to Determine The Concentration B: Undertaking Calorimetry to Study Cooling Curves C: Undertake Chromatography to Identify Components D: Review Personal Development of Scientific Skills for Laboratory Work

This is a distinction awarded assignment. "Equipment needs to be calibrated to ensure results produced are accurate and precise. Depending on whether readings are within the tolerance limits or not, action may need to be taken to calibrate equipment. The tolerance for the accuracy of equipment should be within 2%. When calibrating glassware, the temperature needs to be constant, and a good analytical scale needs to be used. Calculations needs to be done to counter the effects of the glass an...

This is part of Aim B. This document includes the practical plan ONLY. This is part of the PASS criteria. Aim To construct cooling curves and accurately study the rate of cooling of paraffin wax and stearic acid using calibrated equipment. Variables Dependent: Temperature Independent: Time Controls: Mass of samples, type of thermometer, medium in which cooling is occurring in

This is a distinction awarded unit. This report will include the method and results for calibration of thermometers. The method, data collection, construction of cooling curves for stearic acid and paraffin wax and results will be also included, the accuracy of results will then be analysed, evaluated and compared to published results and peers.

This is a distinction awarded assignment. "TLC is a highly versatile separation method that is widely used to analyse a variety of substance classes, including pesticides, steroids, alkaloids, lipids, nucleotides, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. In this technique it will be used to analyse plant pigments and amino acids. Components of a mixture will be identified using chromatographic techniques and by calculating the retention factor value, unknown solutions can be identified. Thin layer ch...

This is a distinction awarded assignment about the personal review (Aim D) for the Unit 2 in the first year of L3 Applied Science Btec. "As I was homeschooled I did not have access to a laboratory, nor did I complete any secondary school science experiments. All my experience is from home chemistry kits and researching history’s scientists. Unit 2 was a steep learning curve for me, and many new skills have been learnt and developed in a short time span. Research has aided my growth and I ...

Pearson BTEC Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Applied Science All three assignments were awarded distinction. This package includes Aim A (The musculoskeletal system), Aim B (The lymphatic system) and Aim C (The digestive system). Includes diagrams, tables and references.

This is a distinction awarded assignment about Nutrition and health Before food can be digested, it must first be ingested, which is the process of taken food into the body (eating). Food is first mechanically digested by the teeth (chewing) then chemically digested by enzymes; amylase in the saliva, proteases and carbohydrases in the stomach and small intestines. As the food travels through the digestive tract by peristalsis, it is assimilated and nutrients absorbed. Waste is then egeste...

This is a distinction awarded assignment about The Lymphatic system The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues, organs and vessels that all work together to move lymph, which is a colourless fluid, back into your circulatory system. The main function of the lymphatic system is to work as our immune system, to filter out harmful pathogens in the blood, to discard waste material from cells and transport beneficial nutrients.

This is a distinction awarded assignment about The Musculoskeletal System and Disorders Related (Unit 8 Aim A) The musculoskeletal system involves the skeleton and muscles working together with various types of tissue to allow our body to perform various functions. When there is a disruption to any aspect of this delicate system, basic functions such as movement or protection are compromised. These conditions can be acquired or genetic and often cause a domino effect; this can lead to a co...
