The Science Stash

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...

Hey! This is a complete Unit 8 package for BTEC Applied Science with detailed assignments on the musculoskeletal, lymphatic, and digestive systems, plus practical work and theory explanations. All work earned Distinctions! Use as a helpful guide only and don’t copy. Good luck!

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...

Hey! This is my complete Unit 4 bundle for BTEC Applied Science, covering health & safety in labs, making and testing organic liquids like ethyl ethanoate, synthesizing solids like aspirin, plus managing and sharing scientific info safely. I earned Distinctions all round! Use as a guide, don’t copy, and good luck—you got this!

This is my fourth assignment for Unit 4 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about storing and communicating scientific information in a workplace laboratory. In this assignment, I explored how laboratories manage confidential data, the systems used to store information securely, and the methods for communicating findings both internally and externally. I also evaluated the effectiveness of these systems and suggested improvements. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for th...

This is my third assignment for Unit 4 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about the production and testing of an organic solid. In this assignment, I synthesized aspirin using laboratory techniques and tested its purity through methods like melting point determination. I also explained how to maintain accuracy throughout the process and evaluated the effectiveness of the methods I used. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you to...

Hey! This is my second assignment for Unit 4 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about the production and testing of an organic liquid. In this task, I made a sample of ethyl ethanoate using practical lab techniques like reflux and distillation, and then tested its purity using methods like boiling point determination. I also explained how to ensure accuracy and evaluated how effective the techniques were. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it c...
