This practical was developed for the Scottish Highers and is in the appropriate format, but the protocol can equally well be used for other UK specifications.

A SAPS Higher Still practical looking at potato cyst nematodes, a serious pest of foot crops. The practical can be used to provide evidence for assessment of Outcome 3, and to develop problem solving skills and in particular Outcome 2 PCs: c) conclusions drawn are valid and explanations given are supported by evidence & d) experimental procedures are planned, designed and evaluated appropriately.
