    Everything that didn't pop up in Section A last year.

    From the DEB Mock and Examcraft mock these came up:

    To show Acceleration is proportional to Force (Both mocks)
    Measure SHC of water (ExamCraft)
    Snells Law (Deb)
    Speed of sound in air (EC)
    Current vs voltage across a copper sulfate solution (DEB)
    Laws of Equilibrium on Co-Planar Forces (DEB)
    Resistivity of nichrome wire (EC)

    Sure, anything could come up on the day, but personally I'm spending extra time on these experiments.

    Probably a lot on waves this year
    Maybe forces, friction or energy for mechanics.
    Expecting something on hooke's law
    WE CAN RULE OUT WAVELENGTH OF LIGHT AND BOYLE'S LAW (RIGHT SEC!!!)

    By the way guys, can you replace the ticker tape with a light gate for all of the mechanics experiments involving trollies. The ticker tape is so awkward to describe.

    I can't even remember using ticker tape for any experiments so I'm presuming so.

    My teacher said:
    - Relationship between Period and Length of a Pendulum
    - Snell's Law of Refraction
    - Variation of Frequency with Tension
    - Resistivity of a Wire

    Tbh, I'd be inclined to study most of the ones that didn't come up last year. 120 marks is a ridiculous amount to throw away on predictions.

    SEC have nothing to do with the mocks. So the mock predictions are as much a stab in the dark as your own.

    Yes, it's either, depending on whatever version of the experiment you did.
