GCSE Practical Assessment - Planning
Before you can carry out any experiment, you need to plan it.
In many ways, planning is the most important of the skills. If

for skill P, but may also restrict the marks you can get
for the other skills too!
So what needs to be in your plan?
A really good plan should contain the following elements:

If you have written a plan, and want to judge what mark it is likely

A plan for your experiment should be a series
of instructions that another person could follow without
asking you what you intended to do. It must be a
plan for a safe experiment.
