Argh i did Contagious as well, NOOOO!

Anyway, I loved the various feedback i got about what the common thingy was for the acids. I loled.

Also what was annoying, the geological jelly. I wanted to say a disadvantage with this model was it was edible. And also tasty.

Also, i wrote about the problems with renewable energy sources for the last bit, thats an easy loss of 7 marks :(.

What did you guys put for the scientific theory? I put Darwin's theory and wrote about pentadactyl limbs and how unrelated animals like birds and mammals have them which suggests they come from a common ancestor and how human embryos have tails and gills (even though it asked for ONE piece of evidence *he he*).

I had no idea. So I put "rocks aren't edible" - because you might aswell have fun rather than putting nothing at all, right?

I used Darwin's example of the finches

I wrote that the layer could have been formed in a fast-flowing river or made of igneous rock where stuff doesn't fossilize.

Yep I did that, except I only went as far as the comparison of limbs...

For the desert I put in the disadvantage that it oversimplifies the principle of superposition and that lollies and jellies don't look anything like real fossils and rocks.

I was tempted to say that students might eat it before the model can be used to explain as another disadvantage, but it said only one and I already used two so.. :S

i wrote something like because not all the organisms form fossils (or something similar to that)

i did the big bang theory and the cosmic background radiation as evidence
Which brings me to a question - for the short response, what did you put as the name for the scientific theory of how the universe began?

What was the answer to the last 7 mark extended response?
Was it the impact of fossil fuels or renewable energy sources?
I got confused =/
