This document provides a unified revision guide on new JSS topics for the 2016/2017 academic session for BST (Physics) Year 9 students. It contains 15 multiple choice questions covering topics on elements, radioactive particles, nuclear structure, sound, simple machines, and the responsible use of scientific knowledge. The questions aim to test students' understanding of key concepts in physics such as the characteristics of alpha, beta, and gamma particles, nuclear properties, sound wave properties, types of simple machines, and a scientist's moral obligations.
