Title: BTEC Applied Science Unit 2 - Assignment 1
Description: UNIT 2 Working in the Science Industry – Assignment 1 Procedures and Communication in the Science workplace. Task 1 Produce a table listing all the procedures and practices commonly used in a science laboratory. Include those listed in the unit content as a guide. (P1) Give reasons why each of the procedures and practices listed in your table are carried out. (M1) Consider the following procedures; handling of materials; store management, eg chemical, biological; ordering procedures; calibration of equipment, eg pH meters, graduated pipettes; maintaining equipment, eg burettes and Bunsen burners; collection/transport of substances and equipment for disposal; use of centrifuges; instrumentation techniques, eg colorimeter, electrophoresis; dessicators and vacuum storage; handling and disposal of radioactive substances; handling and use of glassware; handling of solvents and poisons; use of ovens; operation of the fume cupboard; transfer of materials; carrying out tests This provides evidence for P1 and M1 Task 2 You decide to produce a handout for the technicians covering communication in the science faculty of the university. List the ways in which information is communicated. (P2) Explain the reasons for communication and why any communication must be clear (M2). Consider the following communicating practices: lines of authority and accountability to and from other personnel; working as a team; organisation of the laboratory (weekly, daily, etc); routines (work schedules, briefings); reporting of results; scientific terminology This provides evidence for P2 and M2 Task 3 Use case studies (real or fictional) to show the importance of communicating laboratory procedures to other laboratory personnel, giving examples to show what might happen if communication is unclear and procedures are not followed. You must include your bibliography (500- 700 words) This provides evidence for D1 EXAM BOARD IS PEARSON ALL ASSIGNMENTS I HAVE UPLOADED ARE DISTINCTION GRADED.

Unit 2 - Assignment 1 - P1 & M1
Procedures and practices commonly used in a science laboratory
...
g
...
Stock control - Checking and
ordering
...
Equipment
Microscope
pH meter
Spectrophotometer
Centrifuge
Burette
What is done?
Rinsed clean and stored out with the protective cap to prevent
drying using a standard solution of known pH to calibrate
...
Normal cleaning procedures
...
The spout will need checking for damage
...
Connections should be
checked for leakage which could cause an explosion
...
Keeping logs and checking that you always have a correct number
of equipment by doing a count at the end of the week
...
Toxic - salts may be diluted, flushed or dissolved
...
Flammable materials - brick-built stone away from main block
...
Drugs/poisons - locked cupboard
...
Biological methods - sustainable environment to maintain
viability
...
Log kept of any removals
...
Immersion oil can cause a particular problem if left to dry
...
The machine itself should be calibrated using standard solutions
of known pH
...
The light path in the machine
should be cleaned, as should the carriage which holds the cuvettes with the
test solutions inside
...
Seals around lids may need changing at times
...
Normal cleaning procedures
...
The spout will
need checking for damage as a break or chip will affect the accuracy of the
amount of liquid dispensed
...
Any connections should be checked for leakage
which could cause explosions
...
If there is
a possibility of drips falling down the chimney of the burner this should be
checked for blockages
...
It works like an
extractor fan pulling air from inside the laboratory in to the fume
cupboard, across the work area then up a chimney and outside in to the
atmosphere
...
The
movement of air can be checked by the technical staff using a basic piece
of equipment
...
Used to measure the value of ac voltages and to make measurement so
that their frequencies can be calculated
