lboogy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi everyone, I am studying by myself at home, and this summer I am sitting my gcse sciences. I have to do coursework at home, and I have no idea what to do - any ideas anyone? I have no science equipment, I am prepared to buy some but I guess there is a limit to what I can buy? Anyone any good ideas for a good experiment which would give me the potential to gain top marks that I could do at home? thanks in advance everyone!

TriggerGrinn Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Will you elaborate on what you are going to be doing precisely? GCSE physics: what does this stand for, and what level is this ? It might help us offer some ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Will you elaborate on what you are going to be doing precisely? GCSE physics: what does this stand for, and what level is this ? It might help us offer some ideas... GCSE: general certificate of secondary education. Mostly examined with a part being scored by coursework. Exams are set and marked nationally, coursework is marked locally but moderated nationally. It is for school leavers, the exams are taken at the end of the school year in which you are 16. I can't remember what I did for mine, but I would think some trollies (just things with wheels on them) and putting known weights on them (you can measure household stuff on a set of balances (scales) if you need). A piece of string and a table and you can calculate gravity. Or something similar but have the trolly with no wheels you can measure friction. I recall doing this at college for a-level maths mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lboogy Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 thanks for your suggestion! I'll give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Resistance of a wire!!! That ones my favourite, just ask if you want more information. What exam board are you doing it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGrinn Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I found some websites that have physics software. Where you can perform some of your experiments virtually. Intell software overview >>http://www.intel.com/cd/corporate/education/emea/eng/ireland/sitesupport/intel_education/news_archive/326592.htm main site >>>>>>>>>>http://www.skoool.ie physics related section >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>http://www.skoool.ie/homeworkzone_sc.asp?id=2651 I am sure there is physics tool sets you can buy online, that come in a box. Or software that can help out alot of stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
