I'm really impressed! Most of you managed to complete the whole question in the time available, including the case study section. You used a variety of case studies - the most successful answers were based on the Savanna Grasslands.
I noticed three main things about your answers:
(a) lots of people hadn't learnt their definitions - so they threw away easy marks!
(b) quite a few of you didn't read the questions carefully - you ended up describing where you should have been explaining and I couldn't give you any marks!
(c) most people didn't use the data from the graph appropriately - you must quote figures from the graph if you are asked to describe what it shows!
These things are easy to put right - I'm already looking forward to results day 2009 as I'm confident that you'll all do really well if you keep at it. Well done.
To revise your graph interpretations skills, you could use the BBC Bitesize summary. Why not take the test bite to see how much you can remember once you have worked through the online unit?
