Physics practical (Unit 6).
« on: April 25, 2010, 12:34:28 pm »
I've thought it will include only experiments from Units 4 & 5, but after looking at specimen paper..
There were also questions from Units 1 & 2.
So I should revise AS level experiments too?

PS Hope it's not a wrong section.

I didnt think so too.. but why would they include that in the specimen paper? =\
I'd assume there will be more questions on uncertainties (percentage error), improving the experiment, safety precautions etc., like discussing the experiment.
While in Unit 3 we should mainly explain the experiment only.

they would include that in specimen , because they know u have already done the AS
SO they expect u to know about these things like , finding the density , drawing a extension experment
