Int2 revision

These resources are intended to help you prepare for the Intermediate 2 exam. Thanks to Mrs. Boath for sharing them with me!

Important

To open all the files, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader and Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer. If you don’t have these on your home pc, go to the Thurso High School download page to find links that will let you open these types of file inside your browser.

Alternatively, you can download the OpenOffice.org suite for free!

Download your copy of the SQA data booklet.

Unit 1 - Mechanics & Heat

I have split this subject up into separate mechanics and heat downloads. The mechanics material is in a web page format so you can jump around it easily.

vectors & scalars

mechanics - summary for entire mechanics section (powerpoint version here)

projectile motion (video)

example of projectile motion - shoot the monkey (video)

heat - powerpoint file

summary of mechanics & heat equations

Unit 2 - Electricity & Electronics

This is a large unit so I have split up the revision material into electricity and electronics sections rather than post one enormous file. I have put the electricity file online as a web page that allows you to jump to different sections if you want to skip ahead or go back to something quickly - just use the left hand navigation column for this. If you want to read through one page at a time, just use the arrows at the bottom of the screen.

electricity summary pages  (powerpoint version here)

transformers - short summary of terms used when dealing with transformers

electricity quiz - test your electricity knowledge

electronics - summary of electronics part of the unit   (powerpoint version here)

LEDs - these Standard Grade provide a comparison of LEDs and lightbulbs, including a worked example of how to calculate the series resistor for an LED.

Unit 3 - Waves & Optics

quiz about waves - pdf file with questions about the properties of waves

waves - complete summary of unit 3 in a powerpoint file (large file!) I recommend the ray diagram section of this presentation, it has clear instructions on how to draw a diagram correctly.

Unit 4

radioactivity - powerpoint file summarising the radioactivity unit

radiation quiz - how much do you know about radioactivity?
