Assignment Brief
Vocational Scenario or context: You are working as a research assistant in the School of Sport, Exercise
and Health Sciences at the local university. Your supervisor has asked you to investigate the effect of exercise on the rate of respiration. In order to do this you will need to investigate the effect of exercise on pulse rate and breathing rate. You will then need to relate the results of your investigation to the rate of respiration in humans.
Your Task : Produce a report describing, analysing and explaining the effect of exercise on respiration. In your report you need to use correct and accurate scientific terminology, and you need to include:
An introduction describing: o what respiration is o where it takes place within the cell o how the reactants needed for respiration reach the cell o how the products are used in or excreted from the body.
Competently and safely carry out an investigation into the effects of activity on breathing rate and/or pulse rate. You need to think about:
o How are you going to take measurements o How many measurements are you going to take? (range of readings and number of
repeats) o What is your results table going to look like? o What will you do with any anomalous results?
You need to provide outline details of your method, including any equipment used, a results table with anomalies identified and if possible explained, a graph to show the results you have obtained and a conclusion linking your results to respiration. HINT: You may want to take readings after you have stopped doing exercise to see how long it takes for your pulse and breathing rate to return to normal.
Additional research into the differences between anaerobic and aerobic respiration.
Where does anaerobic respiration take place in the cell? What does it produce and
how does our body metabolise this waste product. If you can, try to find out about
respiration in more detail than you learnt at GCSE. It is this additional research that
will get you a Distinction

Assignment Brief
Vocational Scenario or context: You are working for a communications company and have been asked to
write an educational leaflet about magnetic waves and their uses. Your leaflet needs to include some general information on the electromagnetic spectrum as well as some specific information about the way in which Bluetooth, satellite communication, mobile phones, infrared and Wifi work.
Your Task : Produce a leaflet describing how waves are used in communication. In your report you need to use correct and accurate scientific terminology, and you need to include:
An introduction describing: o What is an EM wave. o The names of the EM waves in order. o The speed of EM waves in a vacuum.
An description of how the following applications work:
o Satellite communication
o Mobile phones
o Bluetooth
o Infrared
o Wi-Fi
You need to explain these in as much detail as possible with diagrams where necessary.
Some calculations to show that you understand how the inverse square law can
describe the wave intensity and how this can be related to their uses.
