We’ve been looking at motion in 2 directions this week.  I showed 2 videos in class to demonstrate different aspects of projectile motion.  I’ve put links to these movies below incase you want to watch them again.

We had 7 weeks of summer holiday this year and it still didn’t seem long enough!  Hope you had a great holiday and hope you remember to come back on Tuesday.  

So what about the exam results, then?

 

There were great performances at all levels, from Standard Grade to Advanced Higher.  Congratulations to you all!

 

Thanks to Jose Picardo for the animation.

Good luck! May 22, 2008

Connor  has pointed out that there is a serious lack of specific Int2 resources on this site.  I’m going to work towards a special page of Int2 materials in the next week or so so watch for a new page tab appearing at the top of the home page.

Here are the results of your traffic light survey on the Using Electricity unit. I have not split the results down into class sets so you will see all 40 responses in these bar charts. Click on each of the small pictures to see the chart at its full size.

I’m going to split these results up by class so we can look at the results for each class a bit closer to see what we need to look at again.
