I’ve been asked to post a link to all of the booklets so that people have access to something like the energy booklet as they revise using electricity and electronics. I’ve added these to the standard grade page now. Look for a link called whole unit notes in each section.
For those of you who have yet to download a copy of the SQA Physics booklet, get yours here.
Here is your HW for next Tuesday (7th). Remember that late jotters will not be accepted.
This powerpoint file from the High School of Glasgow summarises the function of different electronic components and explains their use in common voltage divider circuits. There is a pdf version of the file below.

Here are some revision notes for the unit test on electronics. Everyone (credit & general) has to know the white sections, the grey parts are the credit level topics.
Here is your HW for after the holidays. Please hand in your jotter by 30th October, thank.

Here is the spider diagram you developed when you worked out the elements that made an answer successful. I have colour printouts if you would like to staple one into your jotter.
Your first set of electronics homework is attached, click on the download link to save it to your computer. Please complete this exercise and hand in your jotter no later than Thursday 3rd September. Thanks.
The questions are also available on iTunes if you prefer. I will explain in class how to subscribe to the podcast.
I’ve had an email from Yenka to say that they are now offering many of their products for home use – free of charge! I think Yenka is the new name for Crocodile Clips, the company who made Crocodile Physics and Crocodile Technology. Their software allows you to create your own experiments to learn about
- motion – SG transport, Int2 unit1, Higher unit1, AH unit1
- electricity – SG using electricity, Int2 unit1, Higher unit2, AH unit2
- light and sound – SG health physics, Int2 unit3, Higher unit3, AH unit3
- electronics – Int1 applied practical electronics, SG electronics, Int2 unit2, Higher unit2
They also have some chemistry products you might find helpful.
The software is free but you can only use it at home. Why not download it and see if you find it useful.
We’ve almost completed the Electronics unit. You might want to see how you are doing by clicking on the link below and downloading the booklet. The booklet contains statements you can tick off to record your progress and has extra homework questions at the back to test you further.
