Use these exam-style questions to check your learners’ understanding of experimental skills and strategies

This resource is a set of exam-style questions designed to check learners’ understanding of experimental skills and strategies. It provides practise for planning practical work and exam preparation for learners who are following GCSE and equivalent courses. Use the support worksheet for learners who may need additional scaffolding. A mark scheme is offered for both worksheets in the teacher notes.
