Physics practical... (1 Viewer)

[AcCeSs-DeNieD]

Well I have an upcoming physics practicial and I'm just wondering how I should go about studying for it?
is there anything specfic I need to know?
what are ways I can make an experiment better....etc etc....

Yeh, here are some of my screw-ups:

*Not putting the units on the title row, but instead putting it next to the figures
*not giving the right number of reasons, etc.
*not suggesting a "practical" or "viable" solution to a problem
*incomplete reasoning: eg Why is the measured heat less than the theoretical value? I said there was heat loss to the air, but the nit-pickin teacher wanted heat loss to equipment as well...

repitition, repitition, repitition

or what I reckon looks good in pracs

is when you do a prac and a few things are inaccurate then in your conclusion account for them.. our teacher loves that stuff correct your own stuff ups makes you look like you are thinking
