undergraduate contributing to the A Level newsgroup. Having been fortunate enough to take his A Levels back in the good old days when Edexcel was a reputable name, he was sceptical about the validity of students' current grievances. But the present state of the exam system means that come results day, such seemingly bizarre statements could be taken seriously. In all fairness, Edexcel were made the scapegoats [or "escape goats" as Jade from Big Brother would say] after a minor error by their printing company
[IMAGE]Carbonate Acid Chloride Dioxide The symbol equation for my investigation is, [IMAGE]CaCo3 + 2HCL CaCL2 + CO2+ H2O Prediction I predict that when I have a higher concentration I will have a faster rate of reaction. Referring to Edexcel Science Revision Guide edited by Mary James, the collision theory states that when there are more particles, there are more collisions making the reaction faster (see diagram). Also referring to Chemistry For You by Laurie Ryan, it states "As

the Internet, in text books and sports papers; as well as adding graphic examples, I should hopefully be able to answer this question. Before I begin however, I must build up a series of definitions in order to help explain the question. The Edexcel Advanced PE book describes motivation as the 'Drive to Strive', while Kent describes it as 'the internal state which tends to direct a person's behaviour towards a goal'. The English Dictionary describes ability as 'A natural or acquired skill
Unit 4222-301 Promote communication in health, social care or children’s and young people’s setting (SHC 31) Outcome 1 Understand why effective communication is important in the work setting 1.1 There are different forms and reason people communicate in a health and social care environment. Methods of communication used in social care settings range from verbal and non-verbal communication and as such, communication is the exchange of information between people in an organisation (BTEC, 2010).
curriculum that contained many perquisites helpful towards pursuing a chemical engineering degree. Since more students had now embarked on the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) instead of the General Certificate of Education (GCE) and Edexcel programs, this posed a unique challenge for many teachers, more so mathematics teachers, who were versa...
I am a patient and hard working person who enjoys helping people. My ambition to pursue a degree in Diagnostic Imaging developed when I was working at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. During these six months of a temporary position, I was a support worker who helped patients to attend their scheduled medical examinations. Even though I was not performing a technical job, this experience installed me with a positive impression towards my decision to follow a career in Radiography.
Lanka and graduated on 2013. I have completed my secondary education in EDXCEL O/L (ordinary Level) majoring in Biology, Human biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business and Communication, Information and Technology, Geography and Mathematics. For my EDEXCEL A/L (Advanced Level) I majored in Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry and Psychology. Throughout my Secondary education I always had deep interest in science and technology. Since my childhood I was fascinated in progression of Science and how it affected
Teaching Styles A teacher will use many different styles when teaching a performer. The style of teaching a teacher uses depends on the circumstances, for example, the pupil's age, ability the complexity of the skill to be taught and the surrounding environment e.g. gym, sports field or mountains. More complex skills in dangerous environments (like navigating in the mountains) need a more controlled style of teaching than simple skills in safe environments like throwing a ball in a gym).

are a dream come true because it allows a psychologist to compare the two, possibly for a longitudinal study like the David Reimer study where one twin was raised as a girl and the other as the boy he was to prove that nurture can override nature (Edexcel psychology, 1). Another study is Adoption study which allows a psychologist to compare what you get from your biological parents vs. what you get based on nurture from your adopted parents (Feldman, 54). Heritability also allows us to study what you
Born in 1556, Giovanni Gabrieli was an Italian composer who worked for the St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice. During his time there, he composed works for separate choirs for both vocal and instrumental performers. One of his most famous pieces comes from his Sacrae Symphoniae completed in 1597; the Sonata Pian e Forte. Gabrieli was both a composer and organist in Renaissance and Baroque transitional period which caused elements of both periods to be demonstrated within his compositions. With instrumental
Thermal decomposition ‘is when a substance breaks down into simpler substances when heated, often with the help of a catalyst. It’s different from a reaction because there’s only one substance to start with’. I came across this information in the EDEXCEL Modular Science revision guidebook 1. Thermal decomposition is the breakdown of a substance using thermal energy, this is not a reaction. Preliminary experiment Limewater and copper carbonate were used to see if a metal carbonate beaks down
Introduction Gravity is a phenomenon that is encountered every day, why don’t objects fly? Why the apple fell on Newton’s head not flew into space? Since Galileo’s famous experiment (Throwing two different masses from the top of a tower and their arrival at earth at the same time), it was proven that the acceleration due to gravity is constant, and since then, many experiments were carried out to identify the value of the constant acceleration due to gravity “g”. [1] The aim of this experiment is

GCSE Psychology What is Psychology? If you’re interested in people and why they behave then studying GCSE psychology could be for you. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. Psychologists conduct experiments to observe how we behave under different circumstances. By doing so we can better understand what motivates and challenges us. We can go on to predict behaviour and that allows us to tackle a variety of problems. For example, if I know that paying
The Role of Feedback in the Learning of Skills Galligan et al say “whichever form is used, it is important that it is given or received as close to the performance as possible. It must be accurate, understandable, concise and constructive.” Feedback can be positive, negative, extrinsic, intrinsic, terminal, concurrent, the knowledge of performance and the knowledge of results. All these types of feedback is the receiving and giving of sensory information concerning both positive and negative
Every element in the periodic table falls into one category of metals, non-metals or metalloids. Metals are the most common type and they are defined by certain chemical and physical properties. Metals can be narrowed down by looking at their chemical properties. They have positive valences, which means that they give electrons to the atoms they bond with. Giving negative electrons away makes the metals form cations. (BrainPop) As metals form cations, they are able to oxidize and this makes them
