Finally finished marking the Mock exams guys, and......
....looking good! No results until the Mock results day on Jan 10th, but lots to be smiley about: 79% A*-C and we still have a term and half to go with some intensive revision sessions heading your way!!
However, there are some obvious areas to work on:
Fossils - Features and ages of Ammonoids (get the term Septal Suture in your heads!!), Bivalves - again features are key here. Think mode of life too - use the obvious characteristics of the fossil to help. I suggest that you also have a look at Graptolites. They didn't come up in the Mock, or last years paper so.....
Evidence for the theory of Plate Tectonics - speaks for itself really, but have a good look at your notes on palaeomagnetism.
Formation of Minerals - 5 methods of Mineral formation (especially formation of minerals due to circulating hydrothermal fliuds - think Ganague Minerals - what are they?!!
Igneous rocks - and in particular lava types - which lava types do we find commonly forming at different plate boundaries? Make sure you can distinguish between Granite, Basalt and Andesite!!!!
Sedimentary Rocks - you love them! what are the key types and how do they form (hopefully the Controlled Assessment will be of some use here!
Enjoy Christmas - but do some revision boys and girls!!!
