Yes, they are so important that they get their own page 
Y12 and 13… here’s the place to shout for help, download papers, and generally discuss how pleased you are with yourselves for choosing the best subject ever. Or something like that.

Click and drag!!
so if ur make believe line goes through the given angle it’s cos and if not sin??
The angle you are going through is the angle between the actual force and the component you want. (Wish I could draw on here!!!)
But it won’t drag! I love the fact that Fiona is actually asking relevant questions, whilst I am trying to get a game to work! lol
lol well em some us are totally freaking out about re-sits and don’t have the joys of getting to play games that don’t work!
ooooooooo………errrrrr!!
Chill out Fiona! Have a cuppa
Did you understand what I said earlier?
Em, have you gone in through here? Games tab at top, then Rush Hour link.
It has just worked OK for me. You aren’t trying to slide the cars sideways are you ????
I am still working as well!
I don’t think I’ll play the game now
I’ve restored the Year 12 Revision page on my site with links to some C1, C2 and M1 mark schemes.
If there are others you need, let me know and I’ll upload them.
(Incidentally, one or two of them may give you a warning about corrupt files. This came with the files I downloaded from Edexcel. I’ve not been able to spot what the problem is.)
On the subject of Rush Hour it is really only tested to work in Internet Explorer; if you are using another browser it may not move as it should!
Mr R
By the way, have a go at the Christmas Day Sudoku puzzle on my site. No prizes for guessing what the hidden message is but it presents a slightly different challenge to solve.
I do lead a sad life!!!
Mr R
Merry Christmas my fellow bloggers!!!!!!!!!
Lots of Love xxx
MERRY CHRISTMAS
:D:D
xxxx
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
)
Have a lovely day.
I RESISTED TEMPTATION TO COME ON! YES! SCORE TO ME!
And that’s probably the problem with Rush Hour: I’m using Firefox- incidentally the word firefox isn’t in the firefox dictionary; I do have a spell checker on while I type, yes!- (and I guess your not using Internet Explorer either Em, given you have an apple- I listen to you!)
Meh, I got a really interesting physics book for christmas which I have been reading and counting as revision (not that it’s about forces and motion but hey, could be worse!) so I’m feeling virtuous! (do NOT spoil my bubble world!)
So a belated Merry Christmas anyway!
What’s the book, Mel? Oh and happy Christmas to you
Ahh Mel, yeah I’ve got Safari, so no luck there with that game
I was wondering whether anyone could tell me why:
10 > -2x becomes x > -5 ? It always baffles me!
And also, just on the off chance does anyone have the answers to questions 9 and 10 of the C1 Mock Paper? Because I’ve lost the last sheet of the mark scheme!
Hi Emma,
It’s because dividimg both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. Better method:
Take the 2x term over to the other side:
10 + 2x > 0
Divide by 2:
5 + x > 0
therefore x > -5
Oh right! Thank you so much… you have just solved years of puzzlement on my behalf!
Did you have a good Christmas?
Yes thanks. Walked along the beach in sunshine yesterday morning
WOW! Where are you?!
North Wales
Wow!!! Jealous! Sounds idyllic! You should be relaxing, not blogging!!
I am!! My sister has a long list of jobs for me: sort out my nephew’s bad physics grade(!) sew up her knitting!! and mend my niece’s torn school sweat shirt!!!
Come on here for a rest
Oh lol, thats not very fair for you to have a to do list over Christmas surely?!
Crikey, I am baffled by this equation:
x^2 + 2px + (3p + 4) = 0
Trying to find the value of p…? I just need a kick start with this I think?
lol em i’m working on that 2 atm
lol are you baffled too?!
i was but i’ve kinda figured it out now and got it right, only i can’t figure out how i did it lol
Emma,
Are you told anything about the nature of the roots?
Mr R
It’s called Six Easy Pieces by Richard Feynman- not that there aren’t enough conversations going on here at the moment! I’m only in the first one but I enjoy savouring good books!
What C1 paper are you two doing, because I could dig out the ones I did last year and be helpful/commiserate because I didn’t understand it either… It’d fun! (ish!)
lol, it has equal roots if that helps anything
If the roots are equal, it’s a perfect square.
Mel, I think you might enjoy the book i’m reading at the moment: Music of the Primes by Marcus de Sautoy – probably easier reading than Feynmann!!
Sorry there for my complete lack of response for so long! What do you mean by ‘it’s a perfect square’? Sorry I’m being blonde I know…
perfect square is that whole square thingy em u no what it means, it’s when the brackets are like (x+3)^2 perfect square thingy
Oh right
merci buckets… Hows the physics revision going? I’ve definitely done way more maths revision than Physics… I can’t believe how quickly this middle week has gone by! 
the revision isn ‘t going full stop, i keep getting distracted by EVERYTHING and knitting is evil as are books lol.
urgh em i don’t want to grow up
but i have an interview at both the strathclyde uni’s and 4 2nd year entry not 1st so i’m freaking out about getting even higher grades lol
Also em, this is the most helpful link EVER
http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/AS_ALevelGCE/Physics_A/documents.html#Past_papers_2007_-_January_series
it has all the papers and markscemes 4 physics
Thanks so much honey…
Please don’t worry about your interview… you’ll walk it honestly! When is it? I won’t even wish you luck because you won’t need it my dear
I know what you mean about not wanting to grow up! I was perfectly content at about six years old!!

Why is knitting evil, Fiona? I’ve done loads this holiday
lol but it toook soooo long then i ran out of grey wool so the grey stripes are really short…and the others are long…and it hurt my finger and my cat kept stealing the wool.
but other than that it was great fun
I know that this is rather random, but do you know whether any of the teachers will be in school between 1st and the 8th of January? Because I really need to get into school and take photos of my artwork in the Centenary building for a university project? Though I’m not sure if I would be allowed? Or whether it will even be open?
School will be open. You have to ask for the Centenary Building to be opened if it is locked but caretaking staff will be in.
Mr R
Thanks Mr Riedel! Hope you’re having a good Christmas!
Again nothing to do with maths…but does anyone have any idea where i can get a January 2006 physics mark scheme??? i printed out the papers not realising there wasn’t a mark sceme which is annoying
School?
could i go up to school now? is it open?? lol
Ditto actually, I need that too!
it’s sooo annoying i didn’t check which ones had a them, i assumed they all did…started….got a weird answer i wanted to check but i can’
I know, it’s really frustrating… do you think we should go to school?
if i thought it was open and i could get one i would go now…but i dont’ want to be shouted at lol
