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...

Unit 12: Diseases and Infection Learning aim(s) C: Understand how infectious diseases can be treated and managed

Unit 12: Diseases and Infection Learning aim A: Investigate different types of diseases and infections that can affect humans

Forensic science is any science used for the purposes of the law. Gathering information from the past and examining it to construct a sequence of events that may be presented in a court of law. In this unit, you will develop an understanding of the importance of health and safety, and the need for objectivity and justification in your approach to the identification, collection and analysis of forensic evidence. You will take part in a simulated crime scene investigation and be expected to demon...
