Raaga, plz be more specific and make urself more clearer....safety issues regarding what - core practicals (and which core practical) or the planning of investigation part? and what variables are u talking about? u mean all variables that may be dealt with in A2 level Biology? if u state which variable, then only i may help by suggesting how to control it....

Do we need to check up on all the experiments we did in Unit 3 Bio for Unit 6 or just some of them ?

MKH, i didnt check this post earlier or els i would have been online ,,, i love discussions, just tell me time and i will be there.

Raaga, for practicals the variables to control is everything that is not included in the experiment, and affects the overall results. This is basically the same for every experiment.
 
and for safety issues u got to be specific for which experiment you want.

I have a problem in one of the questions from measuring rate of oxygen uptake..

It would have been better to set up a second, control tube that did not contain living
organisms but had everything else the same.
a. What could cause a movement of the liquid in the control tube towards the respirometer?
b. What could cause a movement of the liquid in the control tube away from the
respirometer?
c. What could you do to correct your estimate of oxygen uptake if the liquid in the
control had moved too?

What is the answer for part c?

the distance moved by liquid in control should be subtracted from the distance moved due to experimental tube
