Doesn't matter, Mam Phys isn't in the practical because it's an option

also does anybody think its stupid why unifying concepts is before mam phys?
so what we revise from? central concepts?

also will there be other questions like
what was innacurate?
how could you improve, something like that

Yeah, Unifying concepts will ask you questions that required knowledge only from units 1,2,3 ( the whole AS) and 4 (central concepts) but knowledge from Unit 5 ( mam phys or appl. genetics..) can help you to understand better some of the scenarios.

I don't know whether this questions like " how can you improve" may be on the paper, but i think it is worth to have a look in some of the practical papers mark schemes just to be prepared ..

guys does any1 knw what to talk abt in precision , accuracy , reliability and validity ??? coz in physics precision is to do wid to wat degree does the equipment measure e.g digital thermometer is better than mercury thermometer ; accuracy is to wid human errors parralex and colours being subjective ; realibility is to do wid repeats and mean ; valid is aving a gud range ... so does this apply to biology practicals too ?? safe

just find a mark scheme for a past practical paper, it'll tell you everything, tbh the mark scheme doesnt even change for that bit much at all.

some people on another web site were saying its going to be something to do with plants so they are revising all plant stuff from as to a2. how can plants be in it, i swear kineys n food tests n stuff is soooooo much more likely. whats more, our teachers have told us whats sort of stuff to revise but nuffin to do with plants.... :s-smilie:

What website was that? Plants could be in the microscope section, but I don't why you would need to revise everything from AS and A2 on plants?

pretty sure its kidney and food tests. plant stuff has come up alot lately on planning so i dont think it will be that.
after messin up last years practical, ocr will play it safe so food tests will come up..spesh glucose..benedicts..homeostasis of glucose/insulin/gylcogen..etc.
&&& ii think it will be similar to june 2006 practical..which is almost identical to this years planning on urease and kidney. ;]

i can't see it being on plants tbh, after looking at some past papers last years was heavily based on plants.

what website is the one you refer to?

microscopy may be on plants but it doesn't really feature in a2 like it does as?!

my bet is on enzyme experiment possibly realted to urea and kidney microscopy or pancreas.

Our teachers are tight lipped too, they won't look at the actual practical paper until we go into the exam on Tuesday! Thought they did get out slides of absolutely everything, liver, kidney, leaf, etc for us to look at.

We don't get any practise practicals because there are about 40 of us and the teachers say its too much work.

R u sure u wer looking at recent posts on this other website coz i gt confused with that once. I suppose its possible that they could ask us to compare protein uptake in plants with animals. Might be worth a look at transport section from as in plants but i dont see how else it could be related. Even this connection is a stretch. :s-smilie:

the one with planning similar to this was on kidneys and benedicts. this year prob kidneys and protein test. Wot do u guys reckon?
