Hi, does anyone have a list of the experiments we're expected to be able to explain for AQA physics unit 1 and 2? Since those are the biggest questions I'm slipping up on atm.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Unit 1:
How resistance varies with temperature
Determining the resistance of a resistor
Determining the resistivity of a material (mostly wire)
How to prove if a component is ohmic/non-ohmic
Unit 2:
Determining the Young's modulus of a material
Determining the spring constant of a material
How extension varies with load for a spring
Thats all I can think of atm, is it just experiments? Or all the 6 markers in general.

I do know all the points, but explaining it on here would be a waste. I suggest seeking the mark scheme for all the 6 mark questions and studying how you can achieve the 5-6 band and looking at the additional point section. That's how I learnt them 
also, doing a question and getting a teacher to mark it rather than yourself helps alot because marking yourself tends to lead yourself to a false sense of security, whereas a teacher gives you valid marks with advice. Good luck

But thanks for the list, that'll come in handy over the next few weeks!

What other 6 markers could there be, that aren't experiments?

Explanation of line spectra
Explanation of a certain velocity/time graph
Classification of particles
Explanation of how the photoelectric effect proves particle nature of light
Formation of stationary waves
Another experiment long answer I forgot was the determination of wavelength from double slits or diffraction. So that's using the diffraction grating equation and fringe spacing equation.
