And that is it.
The remainder of the lessons is going through past papers.

AS Physics HW April (7.1, 6.4)

You have probably done most of these already
This is a reminder.

Coursework opportunity

Thursday the first of April is an INSET day for staff. I will be involved in moderation in U20 with the rest of the science staff. U18 will be open for you to come and do your coursework. I will be next door so will be able to pop in from time to time.

A2 Electronics HW

Complete section A of the coursework and hand it into me by 5 February.

A2 Physics HW January

Below is the work that needs to be done before your exam on 28th of January.
I will give you the handouts in lessons. If we are snowed in you can find the appropriate questions in the 12 our place in the universe.pdf file in the learning platform and answers can be obtained from the worked solutions file on the learning platform.

AS Physics Revision Update

I hope everything is going well.
I think the best advice at the moment is to do the following things in this order.
1) Read and get to grip with the revision book. This covers the basics of what you need.
2) Go through the past papers. If you don't get one question miss it out and come back to it later.

OCR Physics B Advancing Physics
3) Read the text book and try the questions at the end of the chapter.
4) Read pages 65 to 71 of the text book. This was the work I would have covered on Thursday or Friday.
5) Learn where everything is in the equation booklet you get in the exam. Don't underestimate how useful this is.
6) Make sure you get enough sleep before the exam.

7) Check the blog http://scienceatbcc.blogspot.com/ there is lots of information there.

We have entered everyone in January knowing that it is early and a difficult task. It does however give you a chance to resit in the summer and on previous years experience this has paid off.

I was thinking of going through the part I have not taught on Tuesday after school. Its only a small part and on page 65-71 of the text book. Come along if you can.

You can use bccpupils@googlemail.com to email me.

Good luck

Yr 12 Physics review and exam preparation

The aim now is to get ready for the exam.
It is an A Level so you DO need to work hard and revise well.
Mrs Rotherham has given you past papers.
Ensure you go through them before the exam.

The exam is G491 on the 13th of January and is 1 hr long

so you need to

• Read through Advancing Physics pages 1 to 74 for communication and pages 75 to 122 for materials. Make sure you have understood everything and do as many of the activities as you can and answer all the questions.
• Learn pages 2 to 35 of the revision book.
• Prepare any questions for us on your return.
• Go to the learning platform (https://www.klp.rm.com) / AS Physics / Revision Guide / RevGuide / RGch01 to RGch05
• Advancing Physics AS / look through chapters 1-5 Imaging - looking inside materials
• check definitions on A-Z Key terms.
  
• Look at revision Checklists
• Please feel free to come and go through the work at any time.
• This is early for you to sit an A level exam but you are all capable of doing this. You do need to work hard though
• Keep an eye on the Blog

Microprocessor and assembly language

This year we are using assembly language instead of BASIC for the older course.
Assembly works more directly with microprocessors so that is why we are using it.
