Best A Level Calculator

Best for A level Maths and Science For science it is a Periodic table and list of all the Physical constants. It sketches out he graphs for Maths but used in science too. There are many addons ( and games) available for the calculator. These calculator makes short work of the A level Maths and helps too with the science. Although geared at A-Level this calculator works well at GCSE too However - it is one of the few calculators where you really do need to read the manual first.

Using your phone effectively in science


It’s a camera, but better it’s a video camera, and slo-mo at that. Start recording your experiments. Use the phone to make video notes or get an app like Notetalker to record a lesson and all the slides. This makes revision a breeze.
So do you have to write up an experiment? Did the results get messed up? But did you manage to video the experiment - all the equipment is there, how it was setup, what you did, what was said. A photo of the results helps, especially with character recognition and turning results into graphs.
