Biology Skills: Validity Part 1

The video tutorial explains the concept of validity in scientific experiments, focusing on the roles of independent, dependent, and controlled variables. Through examples like an archery competition and a biology experiment on catalase activity, it illustrates how to ensure experiments are valid by controlling variables and measuring the right factors. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of having only one independent variable to draw meaningful conclusions.

What is the significance of measuring the height of the column of bubbles in the catalase experiment?

Discuss how the rules of the archery competition serve as controlled variables.

What are the implications of using different measuring instruments in an experiment?

Why is it important to keep environmental conditions constant during an experiment?
