gcse 24 student here🙇‍♀

[@WyndsXV]

I can't believe nobody has commented for 4 months now, im a current year 11, and mocks are really doing me dirty, so if you are also reading this, and you have mocks today, tomorrow or even next year... good luck :P

[@anshwadhawan750]

What u got in gcse

[@alexlambert4554]

Cheers for the good luck I got a physics mock tomorrow first thing. These videos coming in clutch

[@mehzgirl5044]

Thanks!

[@joshsingh2557]

I have physics today, thanks tho :)

[@schmopet7776]

Thanks for the goodluck! I have my physics mock in a few days! I have no idea what I would do without these videos they are so helpful!!!

[@hamzaarshad861]

you are a life saver … I spent 3 hours sorting out all the required practical's needed for science and now there right here

here before my physics test tomorrow :))

oh i've already been here before lol

[@nieffersharif7456]

Imagine if somebody did a documentary on Shaun’s life. That would be so cool. He should show us a behind the scenes vid

[@javamonkey5462]

yeah, that would be epic

[@zoedavies3965]

You’re literally saving my gcse thank you so much!

[@rocknrollcentral4866]

How are you revising?

[@zoedavies3965]

Melodious there are many ways but for science I make notes and cue cards from revision guides and these videos, as well as practice papers :)

[@anonymousyouth7479]

where do you get practice papers? especially from the new spec I can hardly find any!

[@incognito7054]

Go to the old papers and attempt the questions that apply to the current specification. As a lot of questions that were in old, appeared in Paper 1 : )

[@Georgexb]

Freebandz Very true. The auxin practical question on biology 2 also came up in my biology teacher’s O Level exam nearly 30 years ago 😂

[@derangedk1652]

Hi sir, thanks a lot for producing these videos I have my first Biology exam in 10 days, and you have really helped me push through science to the point where I actually find it really interesting. You're a life saver in my whole school.

[@Amber-gl9xv]

[@ginge641]

I can't believe this was the first topic my Physics teacher taught my class in year nine. Way to make a good first impression of the course.

[@EsotericMedic]

Same, we did forces briefly in year 9 and no one understood and we never did them again after that.

[@rebeccanovak3601]

anyone here for physics paper 2 2019??

This is the definition of regular uploads! :D Keep on going!

[@hecticentertainment]

how would you "describe the difference between a linear and non-linear relationship between force and extension" in an exam (from the current GCSE PHYSICSC spec)

[@LBSiUK]

Thank you very much for practically saving my GCSEs!

[@geek_industries]

Physics tomorrow let go!!!!! Good luck everyone. 👍

[@priya200328]

How would you put all this info in the back of a flash card?

[@Freesciencelessons]

Condense the method to six bullet points plus the IV, DV and a CV.

[@infinity8362]

thank you! got a physics mock in 3 days 🙏

[@willash4613]

does anyone know if drawing a labelled diagram in the exam gets you marks, on a 6 mark method question?

easier to remember practicals from you than doing them myself so thank you ☺️👍

[@imanmohamed6288]

YOURE THE BEST!!!

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, is there a way to calculate the inelastic deformation point or is it only possible through practical experimentation?

[@bloodshapedbox]

Normally, the extension increases at a steady rate. The point where the extension is bigger than normal. That's the point of inelastic deformation.

[@picsbyjess4640]

im gonna owe this man my grade fr

[@halafares333]

You are a legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

day before cramming lets goooo

[@kavyakumeria558]

don't mind me, just doing my physics homework...

[@Sam_8_6]

lol same

[@charliebrett7510]

Can we draw the diagram in the exam to save time? If we get asked about how to measure the relationship between the force applied and the extension? And then just talk about adding weights of 100g each time and measuring the extension then plotting a graph etc? Is that ok or not

[@Freesciencelessons]

Yes a labelled diagram is fine.

[@oliviaelliott1333]

You just might help me pass science! Thank you!

[@Henry-rp2nx]

Did you pass?

[@barketullah9903]

I am an o level cie gcse student and apparently I am very much struggling with biology physics and chemistry alternative to practical.Sir please can u give me some advice and resources so that I can achieve atp for my exams.

[@S3NTINELsweg]

This was the question. I aced it because of this video.

[@Midgetstars08]

Exam in 3 ish hours. Thank you so much 🎉

[@tayacarver5077]

What is the difference in making an experiment more accurate and making an experiment reliable ?

[@destiny-powerhouse3260]

Does it matter how far away the clamps are in relation to each-other when taking the extension measurements??

[@Freesciencelessons]

No as long as the pointer touches the ruler.

[@masonspearpoint2053]

IM HERE TODAY WOOOOOOOOO

Why rule not ruler

[@smallshotz0343]

Why is it called a meter rule?

[@rabbitman8535]

Because the length of the ruler is a metre

[@MariaEduarda-gx8zt]

How do you find the extension by using the graph?

[@nuriashafqat7130]

thank you so so much!!!! if I only used this video in the exam would I get all the marks available if they asked to describe the method?

Yes I would say so but of course I cannot guarantee that as I don't know what the question will be.

exam tomorrow...

[@farahaymen1855]

I dont understand the graphs relatedto elasticity How do we find limit of proportionaliry

[@willt3191]

its the bit where the graph stops being a straight line on the force/extension graph.

[@minaa3637]

when the relationship becomes non-linear(stops being a straight line)

[@Londa1929]

Wherever the graph levels off it has reached the limit of porpotionality
