Resources: 

  • IsaacPhysics at: https://isaacphysics.org/
  • “A Level Physics Prep Work” document - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XGtnL5jcK84Ix4cEunsnV7hk3GPOAq_z/view?usp= drive_link or below.
  • CGP book – 'Head Start to A level Physics’ – (search amazon or other retailers;  kindle version also available)

Activity:

Using the “A Level Physics Prep Work” document (link above), complete all the  IsaacPhysics assignments set. 

Beyond this, every year we recommend the CGP book “Head Start to A Level Physics as  ‘pre – reading’ ahead of starting your A Level. 

The topics which link most strongly to the start of next year (and so should be focussed on) are:

  • Electric Circuits (not ‘Electricity in the Home’)
  • Motion (e.g. Speed, distance, time ; acceleration, distance and velocity – time  graphs, etc)
  • Force and Motion (e.g. Force and accel, Newton’s 2nd law, etc)
  • Wave Properties

For each, I suggest you:

1. Review the chapter – St George’s Students can use the pink summary sheets  given in class as an overview

2. Create some revision material of your choice – pay particular attention to anything  you do not understand / remember

3. Revise the topic using your created materials

4. Test yourself on each topic – use your revision material or try questions in the  textbook / sheets used in lessons / targeted exam questions

5. Review the topic again, a week or so later - use your created materials which  should target weaker sections!

Bring all complete work to the first lesson in September.
