Skills

Concepts, Principles and Theories

  • Working familiarity with terms such as decimal places, significant figures, precision, powers of 10, normalised scientific notation, reference ranges and more
  • Applying this familiarity to answer a range of questions in biomedical contexts

Manipulating and Presenting Data

  • Importance of portraying scientific values in different ways e.g to various precisions and in different notations
  • Converting values between different representational formats

Interpreting and Analysing Data

  • Making use of numerical data and text information from a biomedical experimental scenario
  • Using the skills learned throughout the sheet to interpret and analyse this data
