science: my hope has finally ran out/so upset. share your problems here.

ha i know! aqa's way of saying 'screw you' to the governments criticism ha. harsh.

what questions did you people like / disliked

I didn't like the gamma radiation question. :s-smilie:

I kinda knew the answers, but didn't know how to put them into words. :eek:

Oh, and the first question annoyed me a lot.

But i liked most of the Chemistry questions. ;yes; Especially the one about the ions, and the one saying what happens to sodium when it is put in water. :biggrin:

I got really confused about curvature of the earth and radio wave sgetting to Australia.

I said pipes underneath the sea. :s-smilie:

aww well we'll rectify our mistakes in the next exam!!! :cool:

. time for business.

:biggrin:

i put microwaves for use in mobile devices. or something.

and then for the satellites to australia i said radiowaves bounce off the satellite onto the ionosphere then to another satellite in australia! :s-smilie:

that question was a godsend omfg!!! :biggrin:

but for structures and bonding i panicked!!!
when we had to draw electrons to a prepared diagram on chloride? i just put on two electrons and then the negative symbol on the outside?
was i wrong?

man, i can remember i even said NaNo or something for one of the symbol questions!

The "thermoregulary thing in your brain" is the hyperthalimus, which has receptors that sense changes in water levels and blood temperature; then sends nerve impuleses to the two effectors: Kidneys and Skin, to adjust towards the stimuli. It also measures CO2 levels in a bid to keep them constant

Or that the blood vessels close to the skin get bigger or smaller (can't remember) allowing more heat to radiate out?

All in all, I did rubbish. :frown:

i'm really banking on paper 2. i needed to get 54% today and in the other paper to get my A.

keep the likes/dislikes coming: it'll make us feel better for tomorrows english exam!

Still at least after that we can move on to the joys of A-level science (for those of us who are doing any of them?)

I messed up...completely....i reckon i got about a third of it wrong!...but hopefully it wont be too bad since i have full marks in my c/w and 3 of my modules and 42,43 and 45 in the others.....I think i should need about 60% in the exams to get an A*...but **** knows! Any ideas?! x

I didn't put about the ionosphere either, I said about diffraction of waves but I was probably wrong thinking back about it. Silly me lol :rolleyes:

i don't think so....

It was, the question wanted to know how the radio signal got to Australia even though the world is round before satellites were invented.

I put they reflected back off the ionosphere.

Whether i'm right or wrong depends on what type of wave they used...does anybody remember?

Radio waves. I remembered the ionosphere too, not been taught it just read it in my Lonsdale.

i said this in another thread but i hated all the defintions. for example, 'define radioactive' ? i said it was an atom that was unstable, that would decay to emit radiation and form a new atom and that it was constantly trying to become stable. my science teacher said after i should have said nucleus instead of atom.. but to be honest, that question was way too vague for me.

my mate said we haven't even covered it before.
it was about the thermoregulatory control in your brain!

thermoregulatory control ? loool

thank god i did the foundation paper !

name the adictive subtance found in cigarrets!

rolf , imao hahahahahha

every question there was no need to use your brain , too easy i wanted a little bit of thinking to keep me awake! , but i was left giglin like a school girl .LOL

I said ionosphere too and you are correct - short length radio waves were reflected off the ionosphere so that they could reach distant points on the Earth despite the curvature of the earth.

I put 8 electrons i think. Because it had 7 electons before it was bonded, and then it had 8 after it was bonded. And the charge was negative, as it had 1 more electron.
