The power point includes:
An overview of all topics on paper 2 Physics
Equations covered on paper 2 Physics
Recap of the required practical activities
Information slides to quickly recap areas of paper 2
Differentiated activities that ask students to apply their knowledge of the different topics. More difficult questions are there to ask students to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar situations. Stretch activities for the more able.
One mark questions to quickly recap topics and establish what topics need to be revisited more thoroughly than others.
The main topic areas that are covered on this revision power point are :
Motion
Motion graphs - distance-time and velocity-time
Forces - 1 mark questions
Waves
Electromagnetic radiation
Generating radiowaves (HT)
Magnetism
Electromagnetism
The motor effect
