- 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!
