Topics Physics for March Monthly Test (UPDATE)

UPDATE: Since I am going to attend a workshop next week from Monday to Thursday, I will have to include Topics from Year 7 and 8. I apologize but it has to be done. Sooo start revising boys. 

As you already know, the March Monthly Test will be starting on the 31st of March 2014.
 The paper will consist of just one paper,
The topics which I have selected are

1.  Physical Quantities, Units and Measurement

Content

1.1  Scalars and vectors
1.2 Measurement techniques
1.3  Units and symbols

Learning outcomes

Candidates should be able to:
(a)define the terms scalar and vector.
(b)determine the resultant of two vectors by a graphical method.
(c)  list the vectors and scalars from distance, displacement, length, speed, velocity, time, acceleration,
mass and force.
(d)  describe how to measure a variety of lengths with appropriate accuracy using tapes, rules, micrometers
and calipers using a vernier as necessary.
(e)describe how to measure a variety of time intervals using clocks and stopwatches.
(f) recognise and use the conventions and symbols contained in ‘Signs, Symbols and Systematics’,
Association for Science Education, 2000.

2. Kinematics

Content

2.1  Speed, velocity and acceleration
2.2  Graphical analysis of motion
2.3 Free-fall

Learning outcomes

Candidates should be able to:
(a) state what is meant by speed and velocity.
(b) calculate average speed using distance travelled/time taken.
(c)  state what is meant by uniform acceleration and calculate the value of an acceleration using change in velocity/time taken.
(d) discuss non-uniform acceleration.
(e) *plot and *interpret speed-time and distance-time graphs.
(f) *recognise from the shape of a speed-time graph when a body is
   (1) at rest,
   (2)  moving with uniform speed,
   (3)  moving with uniform acceleration,
   (4)  moving with non-uniform acceleration.
(g)  calculate the area under a speed-time graph to determine the distance travelled for motion with uniform
speed or uniform acceleration.
(h)  state that the acceleration of free-fall for a body near to the Earth is constant and is approximately
10 m / s2.
(i)  describe qualitatively the motion of bodies with constant weight falling with and without air resistance (including reference to terminal velocity).

Physics - Speed, Velocity and Acceleration

 This is a very good website for you to read up on on this topic.

Do go to this website here and watch this video. This is the exact video which I have shown you in class, just in case you missed it.

You can also download the exercise which we did today here.

This exercise will be due on Wednesday next week, 12th March 2014.

EDIT (last on 13/3/14):
Check out this website  for content that we will cover next lesson.
 Also, this is an amazing website to understand kinematics further. Do check it out! :)

Slides on Topic 2 - Kinematics (Physics) and Topic 20 - Acid, Bases and Salts

Hello!

For those of you who are eager to do some reading before the actual lessons, you can view the slides which I will be using here:

Physics Topic 2 - Kinematics
Combined Science Topic 20 - Chemistry of Acids, Bases and Salts

I will be updating these files to my liking, if needed. Thank you. :D

Physics Topic 2 - Kinematics

Hello!

We are going to start on Topic 2 - Kinematics real soon, after we finish the last bit of Topic 1. 

So, what is Topic 2 about?
Kinematics is basically all about movements. If an object is moving, most likely we can calculate its speed and acceleration.

Enjoy your National Days practice :P

Combined Science Topic 19 - Chemical Formulae and Equation and Physics Topic 1 - Physical Quantities, Units and Measurements

Hello!
These are the notes for this topic. So feel free to download them through this link:

[Combined Science] Topic 19 - Chemical Formulae and Equation
[Combined Science] Calculation of Mass Exercise
[Combined Science] Periodic Table

Thanks to Cg. Lim Ming Han, I now have the notes for Physics. I've edited his notes abit (just changed the font), but thats about it. You 9Sci2-ers can download it through:
[Physics] Topic 1

Selamat Datang kali ah

Hello! This is where I will be sharing our content with you. For starters, I will provide the syllabus for you. It might be a good idea for you to read through the syllabus as to get an idea on how the subject is going to look like. 

 For Physics (Year 9ScII boys): [Link] 
For Combined Science (Year 10 boys): [Link] 

 Let's all work together to aim for success, or failure. It's totally up to you.

Ask yourself, are you a quitter? Or a winner?
