What do you reckon the inevitable 5 and 6 markers will be on?
Eutrophication and CORMS are old favourites, but they may mix things up to mess with us...

Paper 1B Jan 2013:
6 mark - Investigation question. Cormmss is fun.

5 mark - Application of knowledge of natural selection. Less fun.
5 mark - Description/explanation of the reflex arc. Pretty simple.

I'm not usually one to 'track' questions like this for the sciences - not reliable enough, really. I do hope there's going to be an investigation question or two, though. They're usually easy to do even if you don't know any biology.

Fish Farming hasn't come up yet right? I think that's very likely.

Revision is going quite well so far, I'm not as scared for biology as I was for physics. I feel there will be questions about genetic engineering :tongue:

I like fish farming, it's a nice topic to get questions on

Hey, yeah it was cool, but in my opinion i found paper 2 easier than paper 1.
What did you write for the last question in p2 ( Why would it be painful to move the elbow) ? :biggrin:

I think we'll get a question or two on homeostasis and osmoregulation. Not too worried about bio though; it's much easier to answer 5 mark questions in bio than it was in physics v_v

How was your physics paper? Please don't raise the grade boundary lol :biggrin: Well, do you need help with chem/bio? Those are my stronger subjects.

Natural selection for a 5 marker would be nice.
