    ron971
    This document outlines the marking scheme and criteria for several biology experiments and skills assessments. It provides the points allocated for different sections of lab reports, drawings, microscopy techniques, and more. For lab reports, marks are given for proper formatting, language use, diagrams, methods, tables, graphs, and calculations. Drawing assessments allocate marks for title, clarity, accuracy, labeling, and scale. Microscopy is marked on specimen preparation, use of equipment, and focusing at different magnifications. The document serves to inform students what will be evaluated in their work and the standards they will be measured against.

    The document outlines various marking schemes for biology experiments and assessments, focusing on different skills such as observation, reasoning and analysis (ORR), accurate interpretation (AI), drawing, microscopy techniques (MM), and presentation of experiments.

    The marking schemes assess skills such as proper experimental format and structure, use of appropriate language, preparation of diagrams, tables, graphs and their presentation, explanations of results and limitations.

    A well-presented experiment should include clear aims, labeled diagrams of apparatus, a detailed method written in past tense, results recorded in a table with titles and units, a labeled graph drawing conclusions, and discussions of limitations.
