Documents on learning platform Yr 12

Now in the Physics interest space I have added a folder called yr 12 2011. In this folder I will place the pdf documents that you need.

You have already done AS waves 6.1 questions and readings.pdf

over Easter you need to print out and complete Waves handout 2.pdf

After Easter you need to hand this in for checking first lesson back.

We will then quickly move through 6.4 and go onto AS 6.4 questions.pdf

You also need to write up your coursework over Easter and complete the sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 in your work book. (read and do questions at the end of the chapters. (most practice questions are on handouts))

Email coursework to me and I will mark and send back to you. I will put a circle around the mark you have on the mark scheme. If you want to improve you need to go for the next mark up.

Models and rules (RF 1) covers the core physics of random decay and the decay of the charge on a capacitor, energy and momentum, the harmonic oscillator and circular orbits. The field model is developed through consideration of gravitational fields;

Matter in extremes (RF 2) shows how theories of matter and atoms explain behaviour: covering the kinetic theory of gases, thermal behaviour of matter and the effect of temperature.
