Biology by Mr Bradford
The IA, rubric-first.
Choosing and refining a research question that won't fight the rubric — plus the data-processing moves the markers actually reward.

RQ shaping & data processing.
The IA lives and dies on two things: a research question narrow enough to control, and a data section that shows the processing the criteria ask for. This folder collects the scaffolds I use for both.
- Research-question shapes that map cleanly onto the assessment criteria
- Variables, controls, and a method checklist before you run anything
- Worked data processing: uncertainties, error bars, and when a statistic actually helps
- Presentation that survives moderation — tables, graphs, and evaluation prompts
How to use: open the folder, copy what fits your students, and remix. Pairs well with the guided labs (for method and data skills) and the MCQ quizzes for the theory underneath.
