Title: Things You should know for physics p5 design
Post by: a2man on June 02, 2010, 03:00:37 pm: Take a look at notes i've compiled for physics p5, i'm sure they'll be of little , if not alot help:

-list the apparatus you would use
-how you would control the variables
-precautions etc.
If you cover all the points correctly, you'll get full marks for the answer. Go through the mark scheme and see how and what they expect in your answer.

Post by: a2man on June 02, 2010, 04:09:01 pm: I have a few model answers for Random experiments that i'll put on the blog in the next two days , they'll cover mostly the design question cuz i think most ppl find that one difficult only

You can list them according to what they have asked. Or give it all in a single paragraph. Doesn't matter.

Ah you guys are doing chemistry then? Me too, only 1 day to practice :-\

And yes, you guys don't have to write in essay style - just list them. It is faster for you to plan and faster for examiners to mark them, thus its more organised. And about the Additional Details thing ... as long as you include them anywhere in your plan, you'll be fine.
