Evaluate methods for studying the rocky seashore

What is wrong with this method?

• Method does not specify which species to collect data on.

• Method does not specify what to if only half of an organism is in the quadrat.

• It is not clear that there are three quadrats to be placed at each interval along the transect.

• All of the above.

What is good about this method?

• A transect with a quadrat at regular intervals ensure REPRESENTATIVENESS.

• Step 5 specifies that the method is REPEATABLE.

• The method is RESPONSIBLE because it specifies how to avoid harm to the environment.

• All of the above.

What is wrong with this question?

• The method is not specific enough.

• The method is too casual.

• The method does not specify how to use a transect or quadrat.

• All of the above.

What is good about this method?

• The method is REPRESENTATIVE because it specifies how to use the transect and quadrat.

• The method is REPEATABLE because it explains how to count or estimate different species.

• The method is RESPONSIBLE because it tell us how to avoid harm.

• None of the above.

What is wrong with this method?

• The method is not detailed and specific enough.

• The method is organised in to steps.

• The method uses too much science jargon.

• The method should not be using quadrats.

What is wrong with this method?

• A transect length should be divide by 10 to provide the 11 intervals to place the quadrat.

• It is not clear where the three quadrats should be placed at each interval of the transect.

• The method does not specify how to collect data for each of the five species.

• All of the above.

What is wrong with this method?

• The method does not make it clear HOW to use the transect and quadrat.

• The method does not make it clear what species it is focussing on.

• The method does not specify the equipment needed.

• All of the above.

What is wrong with this method?

• Method uses quadratics rather than quadrats.

• Results are reported on a table.

• Method specifies that some organisms are counted and others are percentage estimates.

• All of the above.

What is good about this method?

• The method is REPEATABLE because it tell us how to use the quadrat and transect.

• The method is RELIABLE because the steps tells us how to manage the controlled variables.

• The method is REPRESENTATIVE because a systematic approach is used to select quadrat locations.

• None of the above.

What is good about this method?

• The method is REPRESENTATIVE because each tidal section of the rocky shore will be represented.

• The method is RANDOMISED because the transect location is picked through a randomised process.

• The method is REPEATABLE because it specifies each step that should be followed.

• All of the above.
