DP+Labs

Labs
Critical thinking and creativity combined. Approached the right way this is can be the most interesting and engaging part of the course. Learn the scientific process and maybe find out something new.

Remember though classes will often follow certain protocols there is no reason you cannot create your own investigation, if you have a real interest in a particular aspect of Biology.


 * Introducing labs** - this series of activities and resources is aimed at students who are about to carry out their first quantitative lab for the DP

 * Core and AHL**

Plant science labs Genetics Labs Physiology AHL Labs
 * AHL only**

Human health and nutrition labs Neurobiology Labs
 * Options**

Mr Rothery is an A-level website, but has a good list of labs and accompanying technician notes. Practical Biology is a great resource for labs of all kinds and levels of difficulty Science and Plants for Schools is a great website for all sorts of labs to do with plants
 * Lab protocols and ideas**

The suggested IB labs for Vernier probes gives a series of good ideas for usng dataloggers in the lab (a requirement for IB)
 * General lab resources**

i-biology advice on the animal experimentation policy from IBO

This presentation from i-biology is designed for IG/MYP chemists, but is still a good review for Biologists starting the DP: media type="custom" key="23733110"
