7.2 Developing a strategy Present notes/records that show you have planned your use of problem-solving skills in tackling a selected problem from your study or work. Your evidence must include: the goals you hope to achieve over 3–4 months or so; you should indicate how these goals relate to the context in which you are working and to your current capabilities; how you planned and explored the problem and set out the next stages of the work, for example, usi
7.1 Evidence required Part A is about showing you can develop a strategy for using and improving your skills in problem solving, that you can monitor your progress and can evaluate your performance and strategy overall. The evidence you present must show what you have done as you worked through the processes of planning strategically, monitoring, evaluating and presenting your work.

Movement of Blood cells (view at the cellular level)
The circulatory system of humans is closed, meaning that blood is enclosed by blood vessels. This image is that of an open system, meaning the blood moves freely throughout the body. In both systems, blood is pumped to the tissues of the body and then nutrients diffuse into the cells of those tissues.
Daphnia (zoomed on floating blood cells)
These pin drops are the clearly defined blood cells of the Daphnia. We are only able to see the cells with use of a microscope. Keep in mind that the cells are not confined in any blood vessel (called an open circulatory system) and freely float throughout the body.

North Atlantic Ocean Current Velocity
Three-dimensional General Circulation Models divide the ocean into a rectangular grid with layered vertical columns. This North Atlantic model uses a 1-6-degree grid with 37 layers. It captured 30 years of velocity, sea-surface temperature, and salinity. The model realistically separates the Gulf Stream from the Florida coast. A feature as small as the Gulf Stream had not appeared in lower-resolution models.
