TASK DESCRIPTION:

|You are required to perform the experiment titled “Break it down” (Biology One Activity Manual, p124 – 128) |

|Once the experiment is completed, you will design & conduct a modification to this experiment. |

| |

|You must investigate one of the variables that affect the rate of digestion in animals. |

|A log book will be used to record all of the work you complete related to this investigation: |

|- Brainstorming, planning & your thinking |

|- Background research (note taking only), experimental results and observations |

|- Drafting of your report |

|This is not to be an electronic log – it must be hand written. |

|Your findings are be presented in a full experimental report. |

|For the EBI component of this task you must make links between your investigation and biological issues related to this topic. |

|Your log book must be submitted with your final report. |
