We worked on some past paper questions today and I would like you to try these at home if you were unable to make it to school.
The attached pdf file contains 2 past paper questions. The first question is Q24 from the 2008 paper, the second is Q25 from 2007. Please attempt both questions. If you get stuck, leave a comment on this post and I will get back to you. Next time you are in school I will hand out copies of the specimen solutions for you to check your progress.
We only had 6 people in class today due to lack of school buses. Those who made it in asked to do revision questions, so we worked through the 2010 Higher paper. If you couldn’t get in today, please download the paper by clicking on the link below.
I would like you to attempt the following questions;
This will cover a good section of the unit 3 work you have been looking at with Mrs. Sutherland as well as the unit 2 material you have covered in my class. Remember you have booklets with worked solutions but please only use once you have finished or are stuck and can’t get any further without help.
Add a comment to this post if you have any questions.
The weather forecast says we could be in for loads of snow later this week so I have uploaded some more work for you to do if you can’t get in to school or we end up having to close. Please continue to work through the unit 2 notes I uploaded last week but these unit 1 notes are worth looking at if you have finished the 2nd unit. You may not be able to answer all of the questions (such as the acceleration section) without some experimental results but just move on to the next section instead.
If you have any questions, just post a comment and I will get back to you.
I have attached a link for you to download some notes on Unit 2 of the Higher course. Both Higher sets will be able work up to page 15, covering work we have already looked at in class.
5.3 should then work through pages 18 & 19 in preparation for the next section of unit 2. You have new homework – see the entry further down this page.
5.5 – you can also work through the Wheatstone Bridge activities on pages 20-25.
Here is your HW exercise for the material we covered at the start of unit 2. Please hand in your jotter no later than Monday 13th December.
Here are your questions on electric fields and internal resistance. Please return your jotter no later than Thursday 28th October.
Here is your homework exercise for Tuesday 28th September.
Here is a short video covering the points we discussed when we drew scale diagrams to find displacement vectors.

Most classes have done some work recently on improving answers to the kind of questions that ask you to describe/explain/justify. I haven’t saved all of the mindmaps that have been produced but this one is fairly typical of the responses generated by a class. There is a pdf version available to download.
Here is your first HW exercise. Please hand this in no later than Monday 30th August.
Late HW will not receive credit.
