yeaaa

[@isabellaaslam9372]

i'm sorry but this guy is better then free science lessons. I learn so well from cognito like fully he is so easy to understand. He might actually save my GCSE grade!! I hope this video does me well for Wednesday's mock. (update: he did save my gcse and now i am in the sixth form i wanted to go to :) )

hope it went okay! i have mine in the afternoon 🥴🥴

[@isabellaaslam9372]

@@freyaa1200 i did terribly on physics because it was all the waves topic which was the one topic i didn't revise but it's okay i'll make up for it in biology and chemistry i hope. good luck for the paper you probably just sat :)

@@isabellaaslam9372 omg ahhh unlucky! mine was on all of the equations that we had to learn involving kWh, forces, solar panels efficiency and radiation but i didn't enjoy it at alllll hah it wasn't terrible but it was the stuff i revised the least :( thanks tho! i'm sure your chem and bio will be great! - i defo prefer these hha i've got maths non calc and spanish tomorrow, good luck on yours and i hope you have a lovely weekend :) x

i was looking for a physics analysis from the *game* "Half-Life", but science is cool

honestly these videos are a lifesaver. And thats the biggest understatement!! Love your channel

[@Cognitoedu]

If you’d like to practise what's covered in this video, check out the lesson on the Cognito platform - cognitoedu.org/coursesubtopic/p2-gcse-aqa-h-t_8.05.

Great video thank you I like to watch your videos one at a time every so often. Rounds my knowledge so that hopefully I’ll have good overall knowledge when it comes to my mocks and GCSEs

Hey, thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment! We really appreciate it! That’s a great strategy - little and often will get you well prepared! Good luck with all your work! 🤙

[@roriefriz9068]

Broooo why do u explain everything so well? First, I was like I don't get it, but especially when you go do the exercises on your page and look back on the video, everything makes so much sense. Applying your knowledge really helps things stick better I find THankss

Where's the 3 half life coming from in the question??

[@queenielo1759]

5 days x 24 hours =120 hours 40 hrs=1 half-life number of half-lifes= 120/40= 3 half-lifes
