Do we need to know how to draw this diagram. I am comfortable I can name each part but I just tried drawing it and it was so difficult to draw do we need to be able to draw it?Screenshot 2024-05-14 193721.png

If you look at the spec you need to understand how all the practicals work and usually in the exam they could ask you to label a diagram but I don't believe they will ask you to fully draw a calorimeter.

hi yh so I'm comfortable with the science and labelling side its just drawing it its so difficult cuz the chimney is an odd shape and I'm not that good of a drawer anyways. I didn't c any mention of needing to draw it in the spec but I dunno if its needed

They can ask you to draw lab apparatus but it is generally quite generous and they won't penalise you because you didn't draw the perfect chimney.
