Biodiversity

This is my video about OCR AS Biology F212 on Biodiversity and maintaining biodiversity. Please, like, subscribe or leave comments and feedback and if you want to ask me anything or give me personal feedback email me at [e-mail] Sorry for the length of the video. It had a lot more detail than expected :P As many people are messaging me for questions at the moment in many different areas (many of which I don't really check as much) and because I've had a few people ask for a general place to ask questions I have created a student room thread. Feel free to ask questions here: www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showt...

[@rozendo909]

I cant express how helpful these videos have been thank you so much. Your one of the few people that does their videos based on the OCR scheme and you really showed up in a time of need. I just finished my exam today and these videos really helped refresh my mind, thanks Tom.

[@CP-be1lz]

[@ellief7268]

These videos have been a life saver you can explain stuff so clearly and I'm so pleased you do chemistry as well .. Thank you and I hope you do some A2 for next year :)

[@bethanlouise2645]

Those questions at the end pretty much came up exactly like that in our first paper:) really helpful set of videos though, thanks!

[@GiddyGoons]

Thanks for this video, it was useful when making notes for my test tomorrow! Will be watching again before my exam in June.

[@adritarahman7382]

I feel blessed to have found your channel. I never thought biology could be fun 😂

[@Jadee123321]

This is very helpful, thanks! :) I find this revision so boring but watching a video rather than reading the same thing over again makes it bearable haha! Good luck :D

[@ahovanilla]

thank you :) i hope you can make more videos for the new spec! :D

[@MrBioTom1]

i'm glad I helped :) yeh i'm pretty nervous about this exam too, sadly however much you revise you can always lose marks for not applying it or leaving out one key word :/

[@flyingfoxes2630]

This video is great. Thank you for making it.

[@bubudoo11]

You must be so clever! You taught yourself a whole topic?! Your subs are blowing up by the way! Oh and love the rhino drawing! ;)

[@yasinm.5922]

I literally can't express how grateful I am for your existence

[@bubudoo11]

So helpful! Concise and simple! Hard to believe you're a student!

[@MrBioTom1]

[@MrBioTom1]

ill be doing it next year :( the best i can do is try and do one or two A2 vids before the A2 exams :/

[@MrBioTom1]

yep, check out the health video

[@simonblock9156]

Could you please make a video on Natural selection, variation, adaptation and speciation(basically evolution) . My teachers have missed it off and we only have one more lesson. Thank you

[@thebubblegumpop]

Thank you for this video. My exam is 2 weeks away.. and I'm nervous because my teacher really, really sucked at teaching this xD this video helped a lot!!

[@GeorgeRadcliffe]

On the lines of Nutrient Cycles, how much do you have to know about the Nitrogen Cycle?

[@simonblock9156]

Wow thats impressive- i got a D but our school got about half the years papers back and found out the marking has been really poor so there might be a re-mark

[@F1EnchantedAngel]

Desperate last minute cramming; these videos are a godsend!

[@ariend7883]

hey, now your done with exams will you still carry on making videos? They are great by the way

[@MrBioTom1]

welcome :) mocks galore at the moment, i have one every lesson :P woo

[@orton507]

Thanks mate! Really reduced revision time

[@JRMovies24]

[@MrBioTom1]

[@MrBioTom1]

nope, i'm currently doing AS biology :) so far got 90/90 on F211

[@MrBioTom1]

yeh the marking has been terrible, i'm getting my physics remarked because we got it back and there were answers that had just been marked wrong for no reason, i wrote the answer 5.11 and the mark scheme said 5.1 allow 5.11 :P i'm like right... whats going on here, good luck in ur remark :)

[@simonblock9156]

Could you make a video on health and the immune system please :)

[@yasminh]

thank you!

[@Sheena1234ization]

Nothing about species evenness or richness?

[@EpicEditsBySaz]

Thanks mate, and yeah I feel the same about the sampling topic - complete baloney.

[@simonblock9156]

Thanks- are you studying biology at uni and if so what did you get?

[@MrBioTom1]

@George Radcliffe For AS, nothing.

[@EniolaM]

do we need to learn all the figures

[@MrBioTom1]

ah ok :P i wont be able to do unit 5 :P

[@MrBioTom1]

thank you :)

[@noormawas164]

[@MrBioTom1]

[@SaidurRahman-hk5mc]

[@sufyankasi3190]

Ah mate does this apply To Alevel Biology in ASIA too?

[@Haznoo]

yes

[@mohamedj668]

*hello*

[@MsHani17]

Are u a teacher or student?

[@MrBioTom1]

YAY! :D

[@yazzycat]

Your voice really doesn't sound like you're well doing As! Don't worry I mean it in a good way, ah F211 did not go well last week so considering this is 50% hopefully can pull everything up

[@helenbutcher4342]

hehe my little geek

[@MrBioTom1]

hey afsana :P

[@adaam_yrn]

Make more videos, but make them in detail not brief it will be a lot more helpful and we won't get bored!

[@MrBioTom1]

+Adaam Ahmad If you're bored don't watch the videos then. They are detailed, they go through everything you need to know in a concise way. I don't see how making the videos even longer will make you less bored...

[@kainatemran7254]

Savage eyy - but you are correct, I love your videos how they are XD

[@saynabomar6056]

i Kay A

[@MrBioTom1]

im actually on 201 :D youtube updates quicker for the account owner :D i'm also on like 5600 views but youtube is saying a lot less for you guys :P WOO!

[@pariss4957]

Hi if I were to just revise f212 from your videos, then would this be fine to get an A? I feel as though the textbook is too rambly and not specific to the exam like these videos are!! I'm retaking f212 this year - 3 marks off an A 😢

[@EpicEditsBySaz]

+paris s What haha, I think the book is biology great :P I mean there are loads of parts where they waffle a lot, but at least everything from the specification gets covered (just skip the parts that drag on). Imo the ocr student book, cgp student book and his videos are all you need to get an A*/A (with loads of past papers ofc). Also I'm pretty sure Tom said he uses the ocr student book (and also the cgp student book) to help make these videos. Good luck.

[@MrBioTom1]

+paris s What EpicEditsBySaz said. I wouldn't say that my videos are enough to get an A on their own...you have to use it with other books but I think my videos are good for revision as a nice review of the whole topic without all the waffle.

[@pariss4957]

thanks... also

[@pariss4957]

+MrBioTom1 ...my AS f211

[@MrBioTom1]

I'd personally focus on the A2 exams as the extra effort to revise for F212 is likely to produce not too many more marks and could result in less marks being gained in the A2 modules.

[@MrBioTom1]

no :)

[@MrBioTom1]

student :)

[@KingofThePotatoes]

watching these counts as revision, right? gg thom

[@hannahrobinson5579]

You really need to work on you ‘f’ and ‘th’ sounds

[@MrBioTom1]

shhh you :P pout ur grade 8 cello skills to work then :P

[@samcrossley173]

why do you sound so posh, do your intellectual abilities match your convincing tone?

[@MrBioTom1]

Sam Crossley I'm from the South East of England and it is a very common accent here. I don't know what intellectual abilities you think I have based on my tone :P

[@samcrossley173]

Haha fair play :)

[@310796]

Biodiversity is such a boring topic. ;/
