Edexcel Bio Core Practicals!

The document lists core practical experiments for A2 and AS level Edexcel Biology. For A2, the 8 core practicals include ecological studies looking for patterns, investigating the effect of temperature on brine shrimp hatching success, performing DNA gel electrophoresis and PCR, determining the most effective antibiotic, measuring oxygen uptake rates, investigating breathing, and testing if snails can become habituated to stimuli. For AS level, the 10 core practicals involve examining the effect of caffeine on daphnia heart rate, measuring vitamin C in fruit juices, linking lifestyle factors to heart disease, exploring the effect of temperature on membrane permeability, testing enzyme concentration and reaction rates, observing mitosis, studying totipotency in plant tissue culture
