The difference in the starting and end temperature of a substance.

An average of several measurements, which is calculated by adding them up and dividing by the number of measurements.

A variable is anything that can change or be changed in an investigation.

Pupils will learn about infectious and non-infectious diseases and the impact of recreational drugs.

Pupils learned to recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function.

This unit covers the components of a healthy diet, energy requirements, and the effects of imbalances, exercise, asthma, and smoking on the body. It also focuses on planning scientific enquiries, applying mathematical concepts, performing calculations, and basic data analysis techniques.

**Sam:** A mean is an average calculated from repeated measurements.

**Laura:** A mean is where you take the best result and use this as your answer.

**Izzy:** A mean is the highest result that you get.

**Jun:** A mean is calculated from a single measurement.
