Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articleNo probs!(Original post by d_94)
Thanks soo much ! (:
I know what you mean, I actually though it would be a large article from New Scientist or something, not edited like that, but I guess theyre trying to manipulate their questions.(Original post by .snowflake.)
Am I the only person who was expecting it to be an actual article, not three separate bits which seemed to jump around?? -
Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articleAtleast its not just me that thought it! Means I'm not going bonkers. Does look like there'll be a lot of discussion on anorexia nervosa when we get the article. Funsies.(Original post by africananimals)

Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release article
Could I run some of my ideas of what may come up by any of you to see if you agree? These ones are the ones that are a little bit more hidden in the article.
-Inflammatory response (paragraph 18, p.4)
-Stem cells (paragraph 41, p.7)
-Animal research (mention of rodents and primates in paragraph 19, p.4)
-Saturated and unsaturated fats (leading on from mention of triglycerides in paragraph 3, p.2)
Thanks. -

I agree with all, especially the animal testing, rodents also mentioned in parargraph 34, ethical possibilities.

Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articleYeah! Going over it with others helps a great deal.(Original post by This Honest)
My teacher suggests that we should read the article once a week which I'm doing. Anyone else doing it too?

Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articleGood thanks!(Original post by This Honest)
Yup!
How's unit 6 going?
I'm so behind and I've left it pretty late
I'm really struggling to find an journal/article about light intensity on plants..so simple but I can't find nothing
Trying to do some bio c/w now but it's hard without a journal
Loving brains! Although I also find the light intesity topic in plants rather perplexing
You do coursework on it?

Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articlehave you done unit 6 past papers ? the pattern of questions is very similar form year to year theres always a question on quadrat sampling for the most marks and CHI square and T test also comes almost every year i think the course is very defined and predictable

That's the annoying part.
I can't find a journal ANYWHERE on frickin light intensity on plants without paying to see it...

Re: EDEXCEL Biology JUNE 2012 Pre-release articlethis is why I'm glad i went for what i did in my coursework. evaluating all the sources will be a biatch though. Does anyone know if theres a word limit?(Original post by This Honest)
