a measurement result is considered accurate if it is judged to be close to the true value

an error leads to measurements being different to what they would otherwise be (the true value)

the spread of results around the mean value

measurements are similar when repeated by the same person or group using the same equipment and method

similar results are obtained when an investigation is repeated by another person or group using different equipment

Pupils learned about ways in which the human body maintains a constant internal environment in response to internal and external change, including changes in temperature and water balance.

This unit explores factors affecting photosynthesis rates and focuses on planning and conducting experiments. It includes selecting techniques, accurate measurements, data analysis, and evaluating methods to improve reliability and suggest further investigations.
