This is my combined assignment for Unit 15 (Assignments A & B) of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, focusing on electrical circuits and their applications. I explored electrical symbols, units, definitions, relationships, and properties of circuit components, and applied this knowledge to construct, measure, and analyse series and parallel circuits. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you too! Just a little reminder — please use this a...

This is my third assignment for Unit 13 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about applications of inorganic chemistry. In this assignment, I investigated the properties and reactions of transition metal complexes, including ligand exchange, colour changes, and precipitation reactions. I conducted practical experiments to observe and record these reactions, and interpreted the results to identify metal ions based on their reactions. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this...

This is my second assignment for Unit 13 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about applications of inorganic chemistry. In this assignment, I investigated oxidation–reduction reactions, calculated cell potentials, balanced redox equations, and evaluated redox titration methods used in industry. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you too! Just a little reminder — please use this as a reference only and don’t copy it directly, ...

This is my first assignment for Unit 13 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about applications of inorganic chemistry. In this assignment, I investigated acid–base equilibria and buffer solutions, carried out titration methods, and performed calculations involving pH and Ka values. I also explained how these principles are applied in real laboratory and industrial contexts. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you too! Just a littl...

This is my fourth assignment for Unit 11 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about genetics and genetic engineering. In this assignment, I explored fundamental DNA techniques—extracting, amplifying, and separating DNA—while also explaining how genetic engineering technologies are used in industrial and medical contexts. I went on to evaluate potential future applications of these technologies and their wider impact. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I...

This is my third assignment for Unit 11 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about genetics and genetic engineering. In this assignment, I studied the principles of inheritance and how genetic traits can be predicted using tools such as Punnett squares and genetic diagrams. I applied these principles to both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, and explained how probability is used to predict outcomes. I also considered real-world examples of inherited conditions and traits. I was really ...

This is my second assignment for Unit 11 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about genetics and genetic engineering. In this assignment, I investigated how cells divide through mitosis and meiosis, and how these processes contribute to growth, repair, reproduction, and genetic variation. I also explained the importance of gamete formation and fertilisation in producing unique offspring. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you too! J...

This is my first assignment for Unit 11 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about genetics and genetic engineering. In this assignment, I explored the structure of DNA and RNA, how nucleic acids control the synthesis of proteins, and the processes of transcription and translation. I also explained how the genetic code is expressed in cells and why this is essential for inheritance and variation. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide y...
