It’s possible that there will be a heavier focus on
drawing this year, especially if previous years didn’t emphasize it as much. Here are a few common areas they might ask for drawing tasks:
- Diagrams for Practical Experiments: You could be asked to draw and label apparatus used in common experiments, especially for chemistry or physics. Make sure you're familiar with drawing setups for titrations, electrolysis, circuits, and projectile motion experiments.
- Graphs: Be prepared to draw accurate graphs, particularly for experiments involving motion, energy, or rates of reaction. Understanding how to plot data correctly, including proper scaling, labeling axes, and drawing best-fit lines, is crucial.
- Molecular Structures: For chemistry, you might be asked to draw Lewis structures, structural formulas, or even electron configurations. Be sure to revise how to represent molecules, ions, or even equilibrium systems graphically.
- Force Diagrams/Free Body Diagrams: In physics, drawing force diagrams to show forces acting on objects or systems, such as inclined planes or projectiles, could pop up. Brush up on how to represent vectors, friction, normal force, and gravity.
- Energy Level Diagrams: For chemistry, energy level diagrams for endothermic/exothermic reactions might be something they throw in. Practice drawing potential energy diagrams and labeling activation energy and enthalpy change.
Any of these ring a bell for you, or is there a specific type of diagram or drawing you’re worried about?
