As part of my A2 advancing physics coursework i must decide on a pratical and plan and carry it out then write it up. Sounded easy at first but i cannot think of anything that would be interesting and easy to get decent results from. Any ideas or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks Steph.

I'd have a look at the syllabus and see if there are some topics that would have a good practical associated with them. It was a few years ago now but I seem to remember my practical was on resistivity. I am not familiar with the syllabus nowadays so I couldn't give any more suggestions.
 
Thanks, as stupid as it sounds that's the last place i would have looked lol.
 
Also having a chat with your tutor about what experiments could be possible is a very good idea. They will obviously have a better idea than me of what is required.

Good Luck! :smile:
