Four subject capsules

Physics

  • Choose a representation before calculation: force diagram, energy path, momentum system or motion graph.
  • A multi-step problem is a chain of justified smaller claims; write the governing principle beside each step.
  • Check units, limiting cases and whether the final direction makes physical sense.

Chemistry

  • VSEPR predicts approximate electron-domain arrangement from repulsion; lone pairs affect molecular shape.
  • Hybridization is a model for orbital mixing used to describe bonding patterns; state the model rather than treating it as a visible object.
  • Distinguish molecular shape from electron-pair geometry.

Higher Mathematics

  • Translate a word problem into a function, identify the variable and state the domain.
  • Differentiate, solve the stationary condition, test classification and interpret the result.
  • In past-question practice, classify the method before doing algebra.

Biology

  • DNA stores hereditary information in a double-stranded structure with complementary base pairing.
  • RNA is usually single-stranded and participates in information transfer or protein synthesis in different forms.
  • Replication, transcription and translation are related but distinct processes.

Recall without notes

  1. Which principle would you select first for a ramp-and-collision problem, and why?
  2. What is the difference between shape and electron-pair geometry?
  3. List the four stages of a calculus optimisation solution.
  4. Compare DNA and RNA by sugar, strand tendency and one role.

Practice and application

  1. Solve one mechanics question in two methods and compare the assumptions.
  2. Draw Lewis structures for simple molecules, then state shape and hybridization model.
  3. Do a small set of calculus past-question-style problems with method labels.
  4. Create a DNA–RNA comparison and sequence map.
