I'm predicting an application question about radioactivity - eg you're given the half-lives, types of radiation emitted and have to evaluate what would be most suitable
Static electricity, fission and fusion are likely.
I also think the electricity practicals will come up and you will have to draw an appropriate circuit.
Potential question on irradiation/contamination and maths involving background radiation?
Potential 5/6 marker involving more than one equation with unit conversions and rearranging.

After that chem paper, everyone should prepare themselves for death.

I am actually in Y13 but according to Y11s it was an awful paper, no idea myself though :biggrin:

maths involving background radiation? i missed a lot of that so what do you mean

Background radiation is triple only and hasn’t come up yet, but there isn’t much content for it to know so I suspect they could give you some information about it and ask you to do a standard form calculation or percentage for example

I believe it simply involves subtracting the background radiation from the overall results on the Geiger-Muller counter, as background radiation is everywhere in the universe and thus is not a part of the radiation emitted by the specific object in the question

yeah i do triple and i’m pretty much expecting all triple only topics to come up on this

there was a six marker on it on the latest specimen so i doubt it tbh

do you think there will be a question about the national grid?

feelings? DREAD

I don't think that required practical will come up because it came up in the mocks...focus on density and electricity ones I say
but the equation for it might come up

I'm expecting nuclear fission & fusion to come up, as well as either transformers in the national grid or electric field in terms of triple content.

Having sat quite a few AQA papers recently, they're out for blood this year.
