<p>This is a comprehensive guide to the practical skills students must master to successfully complete the practical skills section of the AQA A level physics exam.</p> <p>The guide gives clear examples with common pitfalls students make in the exam.</p> <p>Contents include:</p> <ul> <li>Reading micrometre and vernier scales</li> <li>Sources of random and systematic error and how to practically reduce them</li> <li>Absolute and percentage uncertainties</li> <li>Combining uncertainties</li> <li>Graphs, gradients and error bars</li> <li>Planning an investigation (focussing on how to tackle these style of exam questions)</li> </ul>

<p>This is a complete set of PowerPoints to aid you in teaching the Particle Physics topic for AQA A level (New specification from 2017)</p> <p>I have included multiple choice quizzes in each lesson to ensure students are consolidating their understanding. As well as discussion activities and informative videos where relevant. I have also included 6 mark exam style questions where relevant to ensure students are practicing their long written answers.</p> <p>I have included a revision mat for the particles topic which helps students organise their knowledge. I have also included a tarsia puzzle which my year 12’s enjoyed as part of their revision for the topic.</p>
