During A Level Biology, you will be required to perform a range of practical experiments that will reinforce what you learn in the classroom and develop your laboratory skills. This video is part of a range of resources that use the expertise of University of Birmingham researchers to help you understand some of the most common A Level practical experiments, for a full range of resources, see: www.birmingham.ac.uk/undergrad...
