Foundations of Physics - A Level Physics

This resource is a complete lesson that covers Foundations of Physics for the OCR A Level Physics A course. However, it is useful for other exam boards too.

This lesson teaches the following content:
-physical quantities have a numerical value and a unit
-making estimates of physical quantities listed in this specification.
-Système Internationale (S.I.) base quantities and their units – mass (kg), length (m), time (s), current (A), temperature (K), amount of substance (mol) -derived units of S.I. base units
-checking the homogeneity of physical equations using S.I. base units
-prefixes and their symbols to indicate decimal submultiples or multiples of units – pico ( p ), nano (n), micro (μ), milli (m), centi ( c ), deci (d), kilo (k), mega (M), giga (G), tera (T)
-systematic errors (including zero errors) and random errors in measurements
-precision and accuracy
-absolute and percentage uncertainties when data are combined by addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and raising to powers
-graphical treatment of errors and uncertainties; line of best fit; worst line; absolute and percentage uncertainties; percentage difference
-scalar and vector quantities

This lesson includes:
-A full presentation including 9 example questions with worked solutions.
-A worksheet with model answers, perfect to set as homework.
-Clear visual aids and diagrams to simplify complex concepts.
-Editable PowerPoint and Word document for easy customisation.
