Planning
Before you start the experiment you should:
a Decide what you think will be the effect of temperature or alcohol on beetroot cell
surface membranes and how this will affect their permeability. Write down your
idea as a hypothesis that you can test, and support your idea with biological
knowledge.
b Read through the procedure and decide if this experiment will generate appropriate
measurements that will allow you validly to test your hypothesis.
c Go through the procedure and decide if:
• the apparatus is suitable and will achieve appropriate measurements for your
investigation
• all the variables have been identified and where possible controlled or allowed
for
• the results will be valid and reliable. Are they precise, repeatable measurements
made with suitable apparatus?
• there are likely to be any systematic or random errors.
d Suggest alterations to the procedure if needed.
