Hey, English is my worst subject too. I also prefer maths and science, but biology bores me.

I detest both areas of English. However, if I had to choose one over the other, Language would be the better one. I loath Literature with a passion.

Maths and Physics are my best subjects I don't mind Biology either though. This may be because our teacher is an interesting character. Always keeps everything interesting!

Hey people. I'm new to this thread. Just wondering what you guys talk about on here? I can see that you are currently discussing English, which is my worst subject lmao. -.- I much prefere Maths and sciences

Just anything in general. Talk will probably be focused on revision and exams for the next month or so, but it is just year 11 life. Btw we do talk about math questions as welll

You've done this months cambridge chemistry challenge right?

I'm still on Cu.

What does 8 -> 4 actually mean? I've gathered that the question is about electrons changing energy levels, I assume that in this case the electron is moving down energy levels.

Edit: It's something to do with the Balmer series right?

Sounds good to me! I'll be doing plenty of revision over the Easter holidays anyway! Anybody doing anything remotely interesting over the holidays then?

Can't beat some good old Maths questions!! I'm doing plenty of Maths over the next couple of months, as I've opted to sit the FSMQ (Free Standing Maths Qualification), on the same day as my P3 paper! Should be a very fun day

If you don't already know, the FSMQ contains mainly material from the C1 and C2 AS Maths syllabuses. It's just a bridge between GCSE and A-Level, nothing too complicated.

If you do AQA Physics A you hould find help in P1b.

You actually need A2 Physics to understand 8-> 4 or just do a bit of googling if you haven't got any access to Physics books. I can't really explain how it works.

And yes it is to do with Balmer Series but I don't want to just give the answer away. If you haven't worked it out by tomorrow I will tell you then.

The name is axiomatic of what it is and you probably haven't heard of it since you aren't in Year 12.

Okay, I'm currently researching the Hydrogen spectral series.

You'll learn a lot of new stuff through trying to find the answers, at least I do.

Well yes, but I was wondering whether it is provided by schools or online websites etc.
So it isn't aimed at GCSE level students then?

Cheers for the link, I'm going to give it a shot! Do they do these challenges for other subjects too?

No, but it's still possible to complete.

Am I supposed to find the energy difference by using the Rydberg formula, or am I overcomplicating it?

I just got question one on my first attempt! After some research of course... I think I got extremely lucky though... We'll have to see how the rest of it goes :P

Just now properly got the Entry Level Question Pun!

Today is April Fool's and the answer is Iron Pyrite or Fool's Gold!!!

Oh yeah, I didn't even realise that.

Well done! You did it much quicker than I did.

I love english and r.e so not worried about them, but worried about science and art

Hey Jess, I'm sure that if you keep going over the science content it will eventually 'click' with you.

Good luck revising.
