• Section C (Criterion 7): refraction of sound and seismic waves using wave speed, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
• Section D (Criterion 8): half-life by exponential treatment with decay constant, with a non-routine or real-world context.
• Whole paper: a winter sports venue (Section A) and an earthquake monitoring network (Sections B–D), including seismometers, seismic-wave refraction and radon and carbon dating.
