Unit 4 - Selecting Equipment

Selecting the correct equipment or choosing the right apparatus is an important part of any experiment and this GCSE Biology quiz will help you to do just that.

You should choose what apparatus you will use before an experiment, but you can change your mind and choose different equipment during your investigation if you feel it would be better. Choosing the most suitable apparatus is a very important skill in the design of investigations. Factors such as the accuracy of the equipment for measuring and appropriate sizes of glassware are very important considerations. A candidate who specifies a 'digital voltmeter with an accuracy of at least 0.1 volts' or 'a 25 ml pipette' demonstrates higher skill levels than someone who simply selects a voltmeter and pipette.
