From looking at the past papers about 90% of the marks for Biology can be gained from knowledge of all the definitions and theory. Most questions are not direct definitions but theory questions like "describe the..." and "draw the...". Direct definitions are about 20% of the paper. As the paper is mostly theory based, calculations are quite rare unlike chemistry and physics.

For chemistry on the other hand the marks are more mixed up. I would say about 55 - 60% can be gained from definitions and theory while the rest come from calculations. The first few lab experiment and... (More)

The Scientific Method

Scientific Method is a process of investigation where problems are identified and their explanations are tested by carrying out experiments.
Observation : An unbiased, accurate report of an event.
Hypothesis : An educated guess based on observations.
Experiment : An experiment is designed to test a hypothesis.
Data : Consists of measurements, observations/information gathered during an experiment.
Replicate : A repeat of an experiment.
Control : A comparison used to provide a standard against which the actual experiment can be judged.
Theory : A hypothesis that has been supported by different experiments.
Principle/Law : A theory that... (More)
