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.

Information reminder

Pdfs from CD Rom in Learning space.

Newer material in interest space.

Advancing Physics Software now on ILA

Just look under programs

Recently found resources

Apart from the excellent site http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html and its search engine http://hyperphysics.info/

I have now stumbled across http://www.khanacademy.org/ and its YouTube area http://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy

Tuesday drop in sessions

Every Tuesday from 3:15 to 4:00 Dr Lawson will be available in U18 to help with any Physics problems.

There are also drop in sessions for Chemistry, Biology and Physiology at the same time.

Exam Dates

Standard Model

Coursework deadline

The absolute latest is Fri 7 May

AS Physics TEST

Friday 23rd on everything done so far

Year 12 Physics access to documents on Learning platform

Since SIMs has not updated the learning space and am putting relavent documents on the interest space under
Physics A level / document library
You can access then there without having to be registered as students.

Plan for next few weeks

Just to stress to yr 12 Physics and electronics and year 13 electronics how little time we have left. This makes it very important that you start revision over easter. You should really concentrate on revision at home for these 5 weeks of next half term. Try not to do part time jobs and then you will get an excellent grade.
Also don't forget your resits as we may not have time to go though them.
