How does that work? I am genuinely curious

Alright thanks
And did you divide the table in 2b into each variety of apple or simply into modern and traditional?

guys i think i made a huge mistake in Q1,a . can somebody tell how much marks will i loose for this ---> i forgot to talk about the sand in the expirement . i just told keep the egg and incubate . i think i screwed up whole question

People could still be taking the exams, so if we're here discussing it then they could be getting the answers before their exams and hence getting higher marks and the boundaries go up I'm guessing that's what they mean haha

My experiment went like:
The independent variable is the hatching temperature, and the dependent variable is the gender of liards. Choose five different temperatures (20c, 25c, 30c, 35c and 40c) and take 40 lizard eggs from same parents and divide into 5 groups of 8 eggs each. put each group into a sepearate box and add known volumes of soil measured using measuring cylinder from the same soil bag to cover each group. Incubate each group at a chosen temperature for two months in a thermostatically conrolled incubator and count after two months. Repeat experiment twice with eggs from same species of lizard.
Gahh I know it's a funny idea that one lizard would give 40 eggs or you switch on incubator for 2 months but I couldn't think of anything else xD Couldn't even come up with a control xD

But there is a reason there are standard exam starting times for each country, there is a window of time for students from one centre to start the paper before any other centre's candidates are released.
Further, for students from countries with ridiculous time zone differences e.g. those in Malaysia, they have their own separate 'R' papers

Ahh it sounds fine!! Don't worry mybe you'll be compensated with other points that you have wrote!

For me, I don't know why i didn't think of this experiment, when I saw the nests and soil it directly drew me off to quadrat sampling, I included the right dependent and independent variable but then I mentioned about placing quadrats a in various range of sampling areas with a range of temperatures, included the number generator to find their positions then I said about finding the percentage cover of eggs who hatched to give males and females with including measurements to temperature and light intensity throughout the experiment
so I don't know if they'll not award me any marks for it but I definitely know that I am probably one in a million who wrote like that because I couldn't find anyone mentioning this experiment

That could also be right. You can never know what edexcel exactly expected us to write. So don't worry x

Don't worry maybe you're the only one right! xD

Getting back to unit 4 and 5, we have so much time and yet these seem impossible! x(

It does!!! So much to do!

Well I'm thinking of making a timetable today, and yea I guess memorizing article notes would do!
But I'm so worried cuz we have no gap b/w chem 5 and bio 5 :/

Yeahh I made a timetable as well but I never follow it so it's just to know how much work I still have!

Yeah that's what sucks :/
