This Science Masters resource provides a comprehensive, classroom-ready guide to the Biology in Practice (BIP/AAC) investigation, worth 200 marks under the Leaving Certificate Biology assessment (40% of total grade).
It follows the official SEC and NCCA framework and is built around the “Bioprocessing and Enzymes” brief, breaking the project into clear, teacher- and student-friendly sections. Each stage is written in plain, structured language with marking-scheme insights and Science Masters tips that support both investigation design and communication.
Included:
✅ Full breakdown of all four SEC marking sections (A–D)
✅ Sample titles, hypotheses, and example enzyme investigations
✅ Model results tables and rate-of-reaction calculations
✅ SEC-style graph and pattern-analysis example
✅ Reflection templates, referencing guidance, and marking checklists
✅ Over 20 sample websites for research, referencing, and data analysis
✅ Embedded Science Masters Tips throughout for authentic classroom support
Sections Covered:
Section A – Title, Background & Research
Section B – Design, Planning & Conducting the Experiment
Section C – Data Collection, Analysis & Conclusions
Section D – Scientific Literacy & Reflection
Appendix A – Harvard Referencing & Useful Websites
Perfect for:
Leaving Certificate Biology students (BIP 2025–2026)
Teachers guiding the AAC investigation process
Department planning and moderation folders
File Type: PDF (fully formatted and printable)
Version: 2025–2026 Academic Year
