Double Blind Trials Workshop
These three activities, from Centre of the Cell, demonstrate how double blind trials are run, explaining what a placebo is and how the placebo effect works, how bias is removed as far as possible and how participants and trial medicines are randomised. Through these activities, students investigate the placebo effect, observer bias and double blind trials, including clinical trials and designing a fair trial.
These activities link to Key Stage Three science, Key Stage Four biology and SQA access, intermediate and higher biology syllabuses.
