About Scientific Method and Laboratory Skills
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources split into two broad strands: how scientists work, and how they work safely in a lab. On the first, you will find quizzes, flashcards and mind maps on hypotheses, variables, controls and fair tests. The flashcard deck Ch.1 The Scientific Method asks what a control is and why double-blind testing matters. The quiz Scientific Method and Fair Tests asks which instrument measures 75 mL of water best.
Practical skills and safety
For hands-on work, the slide set Required Practical 7: Chromatography of Leaf Pigments compares pigments in spinach, dark baby red leaf and red chard. The mind map Biology: Food Tests sets out tests for lipids, sugars, starch and protein, including the iodine colour change. The flashcard deck GCSE BIO REQUIRED PRACTICALS runs through microscopy, from preparing a slide to biological drawings. There are also notes on using a choice chamber to study woodlice or maggots, and several lab safety maps and quizzes.
A sensible order
- Start with a scientific method mind map to see the steps on one page.
- Test yourself with a variables or fair test quiz.
- Move to the required practical slides and flashcards that match your course.
- Finish with a lab safety quiz before a practical or lab exam.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same idea. Wrong answers show what to revisit. Go back to the map, fix the gap, then try again. Teachers can set a quiz as a quick check and share a map or flashcard deck as a recap.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Foundations of Biology strand of Biology and natural sciences. Many resources mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, GCSE Science and Advanced Higher Biology, so check the wording against your own course.
Choose one resource that matches what you are studying now, and see how far it takes you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
If the scientific method is new, begin with a mind map on it, then try the quiz Scientific Method and Fair Tests. If you are preparing for a practical, the slide set Required Practical 7: Chromatography of Leaf Pigments gives a worked example you can follow.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the steps of the scientific method, variables and constants, lab safety rules, lab equipment, microscopy and biological drawings. There are also maps on food tests and vitamin C, which suit anyone revising practical work.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams and levels do these suit?
Most resources are for secondary school students, and several mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, GCSE Science or Advanced Higher Biology. A smaller share suits university students. Teachers can use the material for classroom checks.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 900 contributors have added material, so styles and depth vary. Skim a resource first to check that it matches your course.
What if I can't find my topic?
Try a different wording, such as fair test, variables or required practical, as contributors title things differently. If nothing fits, you can build your own flashcards, mind map or notes and use them for revision.
