Any ideas of experiments I can do for my unit 2 EPI? I've never done any physics experiments before (rural school, used to be awful for science) so it'd be useful if you could explain some of the physics elements I'll be looking at/need to know. Can be thermal effects, electrical circuits or motion. Simple things. Thanks! :)

Howdy!
I think I may be able to help, but what is an EPI?

Extended practical investigation - i.e. the scientific poster

Absolutely keep it simple! My first one we used springs and made it wayyy too complicated - focus on something simple, like investigating whether a resistor is ohmic or something that's a basic application of what you've learnt. You could investigate the resistance of different materials, specific heat capacity, thermal equilibrium or something like that. For motion something involving sliding objects off a ramp or conservation of momentum can be good.
I hope this helps :)

I am from the QCE system, however, for my FA2 for physics, which was a student experiment/practical investigation, my group decided to "determine" the relationship between current and resistance. We varied the resistance and looked at its affect on current.
I can explain further if you want me to, just let me know :)
Hope this helps!
