This section is ONLY to be used by the U6th for revision during the Summer Term.
These practicals have been chosen to enable you to practice the following skills:
data acquisition techniques (i.e. averaging, measure at eye level etc)
data recording conventions (i.e. can you draw + complete perfect tables)
data analysis (i.e. can you do things with the data - draw a conclusion, test a relationship, linearise an equation etc)
