How was the Vital Capacity Question?
What is the source of random error? Ways to respect welfare of lizards?

i prepped literally everything except the frkin spirometer vital capacity question im so sad
Welfare of lizards: I wrote about the keeping the temperatures within the given limits as too low or high temperatures kills the lizards. Ensure that the depth of the soil used to cover the eggs should be thin enough so that it is easy for them to respire after they hatch.

Source of Random error: I talked about some eggs not being viable enough to hatch.

Is that right? :redface:

As far as I know, they'll only be low if after the examiners mark the papers and notice that the overall performance of students is low
I think I messes up the first 6 marker question, because I used quadrat sampling method :/
