    | Unit 3 Investigative and practical skills in AS Biology | 
  
    |  | Practical work carried out in the context of
      Units 1 and 2 should enable candidates to gain experience of collection of reliable quantitative data where 
        
          colour change takes place
         |  | 
  
    |  | 
  
    | In addition to these specific examples the colorimeter has many other applications that can be used to fulfill the objectives described in detail in the AQA specification document to teach and assess practical
      and investigative skills such as 
        
          demonstrate and describe ethical, safe and
          skilful practical techniques, selecting appropriate
          qualitative and quantitative methods
        
          make, record and communicate reliable and valid
          observations and measurements with appropriate
          precision and accuracy
        
          analyse, interpret, explain and evaluate the
          methodology, results and impact of their own and
          others' experimental and investigatory activities in
          a variety of ways.
