HehI did the same for GCSE Geography.
Here's the 100 questionnaires. Yes, I did stand in the pouring rain in the city centre asking people. No, of course I wasn't filling them all in myself whilst you were preattling on about contour lines and what they mean.
And all this info about the number of cars going across a certian bridge, of course I sat there for an hour counting. No I didn't make up the graph, then fit the numbers in the tabel to fit it with an error of abotu 10%.
Come to think of it, I think GCSE Biology was fairly simlar. I'd never get the results from experiments even within 50% of what was expected. So you draw a fairly good graph, plot points sort of close to the curve, then read off the values to go into the table. Works wonders if you understand the experiment and what the results should be, but are using utterly shite equpitment.

Di you knowIf you plot a graph in MS Excel from data, you can drag the points on the graph around and the data changes.
Finding that changed my whole opinion of Microsoft.
Pure genius.

HahahYeah, I also did both the stones and the data survey lies... Actually, for doing a tourism survey about where people came from I just sat in the shade somewhere and rang up some mates, hence why all my friends from around Britain were inexplicably in Cromar for the weekend...
Biology's great- since I can answer basically any question she throws at me I can get off not doing work easier. Though we're now doing reproduction, and thinking about sex and my hideous teacher isn't that great...
