Science Investigations

Which ones did ye all pick to do? We did the biology and physics...chemistry looked too hard :P. Have ye finished writing them up yet?

Biology and Physics as well. We were meant to be doing Chemistry but everyone changed their minds and went Physics We've done two mock write-ups now, doing the green booklet when we go back !

I've just started this morning to fill in the blue booklet in the coursework B section and I have a few questions for anyone who can answer them.

1) For the "Selected Investigation 1 and 2" our teacher told us to just write Biology in 1 and Physics in 2. Is this right?

2) pg 9 1 (i) or for any page and question, if I run out of space, do I say go to pg 16 where there's additional space. If so, where do I write it if there's no line space?

3) Is it true that all lines around tables have to be filled in? :L

1. It doesn't really matter, no marks are going for it anyway. I wrote down the full name of the investigation (ie. investigate named seeds, chosen by you, .... )

2. Yup, go to page 16 and just make sure you clearly label it both on where you ran out of space and on page 16.

3. Not sure what you mean exactly??

Well a tip for those if you're doing tables, our teacher said all lines around tables e.g. physics results table, have to be filled in as examiners are looking out for those sort of things.

I don't know if this is true or not.

We have have our mock booklets in first class monday morning we go back. Just finished mine today apart from the calculations part. What did people do for calculations pesificely physics ??

Omg! I can actually help someone!

Well, what we did is take the first temperature recorded and take the last temperature from it, e.g. :

Enamel cup + coffee = 57 - 42 = 15'C
Enamel cup, coffee + lid = 60 - 45 = 15'C

Polypropylene (plastic) cup + coffee = 65 - 47 = 18'C
Polypropylene cup, coffee + lid = 68 - 52 = 16'C


Then describe which held more heat for longer and why some didn't, if you can.

Anything else?
