Yes, please make sure that the record sheet is signed by the student and by the teacher. The sheet can be found on the gce biology qualification homepage under teacher support materials. Often, the reason a report had a low mark was because the title did not allow access to a problem or to the areas of applied biology being tested.

If a candidate who did a visit is not be able to undertake a new visit, he or she would then have to rework the existing report. There is nothing to stop a candidate from revising and resubmitting a report either visit or issue. You have two options when submitting your unit 3 visit issue reports: option a 6bi03/a you mark your students’ work and submit a sample for moderation.

The sample candidates are detailed on your optems forms and on edexcel online, and your highest and lowest scoring candidates must be included with the sample if they have not already been chosen. The consultancy service can be used in three easy steps: step 1: nominate the ‘lead assessor’. If youre a registered centre, contact your centres edexcel online administrator who can set you up with an account.

If your centre is not yet registered, please nominate an edexcel online administrator and ask them to contact us. Step 3: register for the consultancy service by selecting gq osca from the edexcel online menu. Please note read more r stands for regional as these papers were specifically designed to cater for the different time zones. Yes, candidates can resit coursework unit 6 practical biology and investigative skill. Candidates can either do a fresh investigation with a new report, or they may try to rework their previous report for resubmission. Right, as i've had a lot of interest in people wanting me to send my issue report to help with ideas/structure etc, i may as well just copy and paste it here so it's easier for all of us i got 38/40 raw marks for this, so a decent a it translated to 58/60 ums.

Obviously the graphs and images i used aren't present, so when i analyse a source, you probably won't understand, but it'll give you an idea of what to do. For an extensive period of the twentieth century, the continental black rhinoceros was one of the most numerous of all the species of rhino. The severity of this issue is proven by the figures that have been gathered to show the rapid decline of numbers. During the 1960s, the population of black rhinoceros’ was around 70,0, however just 21 years later in 1981, that number decreased by roughly 55,0 to 60,0, leaving between 10,0 and 15,0 rhinos. 1 during the earlier half of the 1990s, the number of black rhinoceros was as low as just under 2,500, and by the year 2004, it had been reported that the number stood at a shocking 2,410. These figures clearly outline the seriousness of the decline and provides the reason as to why there are several conservation methods working to help save this beautiful creature. There are four sub species that are recognised: southern central black rhino, currently the most numerous of the species.

There is also the south western black rhino which is too classed as critically endangered. The eastern african black rhino has a smaller but growing population in tanzania but is currently stronghold in kenya, this sub species is also classified as critically endangered. Finally, there is the west african black rhino, which is sadly classified as ‘probably extinct’. This graph, taken from wwf in 2004 shows the extreme decline in the number of black rhinos from 1969 to 2004.

According to the graph there is a decrease of roughly 66,0 rhinos in just 35 years. This correlates with the data above and due to the fact it’s originally taken from wwf, it’s most likely to be a reliable source of information. 2 why is the black rhino declining? the black rhino has declined so drastically and so rapidly to the brink of extinction for several reasons.
