We should address the dot points by area - so an overarching point then subpoints on the actual dot point

11.1 identify data sources to:


 * a) analyse complex problems to determine appropriate ways in which each aspect may be researched**


 * b) determine the type of data which needs to be collected and explain the qualitative or quantitative analysis that will be required for this data to be useful**


 * c) identify the orders of magnitude that will be appropriate and the uncertainty that may be present in the measurement of data**


 * d) identify and use correct units for data that will be collected**


 * e) recommend the use of an appropriate technology or strategy for data collection or gathering information that will assist efficient future analysis**

11.2 plan first-hand investigations to:


 * a) demonstrate the use of the terms ‘dependent’ and ‘independent’ to describe variables involved in the investigation**


 * b) identify variables that need to be kept constant, develop strategies to ensure that these variables are kept constant, and demonstrate the use of a control**


 * c) design investigations that allow valid and reliable data and information to be collected**


 * d) design and trial procedures to undertake investigations and explain why a procedure, a sequence of procedures or repetition of procedures is appropriate**


 * e) predict possible issues that may arise during the course of an investigation and identify strategies to address these issues if necessary**

11.3 choose equipment or resources by:


 * a) identifying and/or setting up the most appropriate equipment or combination of equipment needed to undertake the investigation**


 * b) carrying out a risk assessment of intended experimental procedures and identifying and addressing potential hazards**


 * c) identifying technology that could be used during investigations and determining its suitability and effectiveness for its potential role in the procedure or investigations**


 * d) recognising the difference between destructive and non-destructive testing of**
