umm.. i don't take Physics sister..but here's the link to this very helpful brother's thread..these are his notes..

Sis can u help me with http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...and AS Level/Biology (9700)/9700_w08_qp_5.pdf
no 1b?? i'm not getting wht's written in the markscheme... Thankyou

If I'm not wrong, then b(i) would be: as the concentration of antibiotic decreases, the area of inhibition decreases...
and b(ii) would be:

• Anamoulous:

1. None of the readings are fitting the general trend
2. Species Z is too high

• Not anamoulous

1. Species X has no pattern in the trend
2. At 0.0 g/dm3, the inhibition of Species Y may still be increasing..

Sister..what don't you get? Can you please be precise? I feel i ddnt answer your question very appropriately...

this part:
ref. to one experimental error to do with use of cultures or antibiotic
(concentrations);

look at the column beside it; it says "allow errors due to contamination"
so you can say that the petri dishes might have been contaminated..a sterility factor (i suggest you make note of this; i just did)

So basically which are the practicals that are in the syllabus for paper 5? All those 30 practicals from AS and the other 28 from A2?

There's nothing we can categorize as being in our syllabus really..because, if u haven't noticed, literally none of the questions are repeated. So to get the hang of it, i think we'll just have to practice p5's over and over again...don't you think?

 

[dornam]

None of the questions are repeated but they still take all the experiments from the syllabus.

Knowitall10 ....thank you for the link ..i guess most of the notes are of core part (paper 4) only for biology there are paper 5 tips ..but i couldnt find anything for physics paper 5 yet

yeah they do, bt again, we need to know the technique...and wait..what experiments are in our syll? I ddnt know there were any....isn't it just the statistical analysis that's in our book?

Oh....sorry Sister....I think u should post it on the Physics thread or something....

 

[dornam]

No, it's the syllabus which has a lot of experiments

Do u mind sending a link or something please?
