Re: A2 Biology Unit 6 ~ 16th May 2012yes we can(Original post by verdikt)
Just had a query here. Could we copy/paste stuff from the marking scheme and paste it on our paper. Like for the last bit in Unit 6, the preliminary work done is always the same so can I always mention "finding out dependant variable", etc?
but that doesnt mean we write "finding out dependant variable" , you actually have to write the dependant variable eg:- plant growth , number of shrimps etc ! mark schemes just give you outlines as what to expect in an answer ...

(Original post by iesians)
almost every paper !! i just know that it is related to T test and CHI test but i dunno its significance, in mark scheme it is written that T value is greater or less than the value AT 95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL which is at 0.05 ! i dont get this !!! -

Re: A2 Biology Unit 6 ~ 16th May 2012i think the practical on snail habituation has a chance of coming , it has never come !!! i rerally love that practical hope it comes ,(Original post by dhym abraham)

well i also think that respirometer and spirometers can come too , they havent come either from a long time ......!!
brine shrimps wont come , it came last year , antibiotics wont come cuz it always comes !!! i wish ecological sampling doesnt come , i hate it tis so awkward and complicated !! and probably some AS practicals can come too , such as daphnia , or vitamin C !! i didnt even touch them !!!!!
