Scientific Investigation Unit 3

Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to enable learners to explore the protocols associated with scientific investigations. The unit is based around working as a research scientist, setting up an idea, testing it and then reporting the findings.

Learning outcomes 1.Be able to plan an investigation relevant to the area of study 2.Be able to undertake the planned investigation, using appropriate scientific principles 3.Be able to collect, collate and analyse the results from the investigation 4.Be able to draw conclusions from the investigation.

Be able to plan an investigation relevant to the area of study Nature of the investigation: statement about experimental research, e.g. laboratory, fieldwork, sports facility Information resources: identification, location and extraction of relevant information sources; use of recognised protocol for recording the sources, eg Harvard system; assessment of reliability and validity of information researched Principles of design of investigations: details of experimental design and controls; formulation of hypothesis; statement of proposed analytical techniques to be used; assessment of possible errors in practical work. Health and safety: risk assessment; elimination/minimisation of identified risks; availability of physical resources Project plan: hypothesis; objectives; milestones; resources

Be able to undertake the planned investigation, using appropriate scientific principles Experimental techniques: assembly of relevant equipment and materials; adherence to Health and Safety requirements during the practical investigation; manipulative skills; appropriate use of instruments and techniques for taking measurements; observational skills; recording results, accuracy, integrity, precision; maintenance of working laboratory logbooks and record keeping; Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP), relevant legislation

Be able to collect, collate and analyse the results from the investigation Practical data: organisation of data, eg class intervals, tallying; methods of data processing and analysis, eg mean, standard deviation, learner’s t-test; correct units of experimental quantities used; assessment of experimental accuracy and precision Validation of method and results: fitness for purpose of methods used; repeatability; sources and magnitudes of errors in reading taken Assessment of information sources used: relevance to investigation; use of relevant, researched information to support/not support experimental work

Be able to draw conclusions from the investigation Scientific report of the experiment: correct scientific protocol used for report, e.g. structure and format, use of correct scientific terminology including use of third person, past tense; references and bibliography correctly written and included in appendix Data presentation: range of appropriate data presentation used; choice of data presentation explained; correct presentation of chosen data format explained Scientific evaluation of findings: evaluation of results; conclusions drawn using scientific principles; experimental and literature investigations; evaluation of proof or otherwise of the hypothesis stated
