Test date: 4 May
| Week number | Date | Lesson content | Lesson resources and links | Homework |
| 2 | 11.1 | Introduction - safety, classroom procedures. Units to be studied this term and probable assessment dates. Introduction to forces: what are forces ? How do we measure them? Correctly writing units. Calibration. | Coping with physics sheet Lesson notes If you missed the lesson, this video explains the main concepts | This video then form You will need the password given in the lesson |
| 3 | 18.1 | Measuring friction. Static and dynamic friction. Air resistance. | Lesson notes If you missed the lesson, these videos explain the main concepts: units, friction | watch this video as preparation for next lesson. There is no written task with this homework. |
| 4 | 25.1 | Resultant forces. Using arrows to represent forces. Newton's 1st Law. Unchanging motion and steady speed or velocity. Experiment: if you double the force on an object to move it, does it travel double the distance ? | Lesson notes If you missed the lesson, this video explains the main concepts: This link | watch this video as preparation for next lesson. There is no written task with this homework. |
| 5 | 1.2 | The tortoise and the hare - 'speed' Distance-time graphs Velocity time graphs Converting units of velocity: m/s to km/h and vice versa. | Lesson notes If you missed the lesson, these will help you : Changing from m/s to km/h and vice versa | This video |
| 6 | 8.2 | TET week | ||
| 7 | 15.2 | Collecting data in an experiment and processing it using IT. Using googlesheets to process experimental data - averaging and graphs. | If you missed the lesson then watch this video which covers the main aspects of using google sheets for collecting data and plotting graphs. | This link |
| 8 | 22.2 | Terminal velocity and falling Planning the paper helicopters investigation | Felix Baumgartner jump video. Discussion of forces involved. Lesson notes Paper helicopter experiment sheets: Cover sheet/instructions Template for helicopter Writing frame in word format (open with google docs and then download) Writing frame as pdf Helicopter template Bilingual instructions for the writing frame If you missed the lesson, check the notes and watch Felix Baumgartner jump video. Read through the Paper helicopter experiment Cover sheet/instructions and next lesson you'll join a group to do the experiment. Think about how you could do the experiment - it's a good idea to discuss this with a classmate or two. | |
| 9 | 1.3 | Carrying out the paper helicopter investigation | no homework | |
| 11 | 15.3 | Concluding and evaluating the paper helicopter investigation | complete the investigation. The deadline is the START of next lesson and you should hand in the report including a print out of the data and graph. | |
| 12 | 22.3 | Deadline for the investigations is the START of this lesson. Mass and weight
| Mass and weight; what if we grew up in space ? Vsauce video g-force test pilots. Redbull races What it takes to fly in redbull races Lesson notes | This form |
| 13 | 29.3 | Acceleration
| lesson notes | No homework |
| 14 | 5.4 | Balance and centre of gravity
| Finding centres of gravity - by instinct, by experiment, in theory. Centre point of Finland using a piece of card. | At some point in your long and healthy lives, if you visit 'Manner - Suomen keskipiste' which is near Puolanka, take a photo of the marker there and email it to me ! |
| 15 | 12.4 | Completing the centre of gravity experiment. | Centre of gravity and sport - Fosbury Flop in high jump; Jonathan Edwards' triple jump Lesson notes | Watch this video you only have to watch it - do not worry about taking notes (the video was made last year when we were in distance learning) |
| 16 | 19.4 | Work and energy | Explaining further the ideas from the homework videos. Calculating work, energy and power. Conservation of energy video Lesson notes | Take time to go through your notes in preparation for the test on May 3rd. |
| 17 | 26.4 | Studying for the test. | Questions to help you study Notes from the lesson | prepare for the test: it is open note so check all your work is present and you understand it ! |
| 18 | 3.5 | Test If you miss a test, you will automatically be put into the next läksyparkki (Wednesday 14.15); however do come to see me to see if another time can be arranged. | No homework | |
| 19 | 10.5 | Traffic safety | Safety rules and features for road users Velocity and energy in collisions spreadsheet History of car safety Lesson notes | No homework |
| 20 | 17.5 | Self-driving cars | Google self-driving cars presentation 2016 Traffic safety project Save your own copy of this file to work on - you will need a gmail account (ask me if you need one). | |
| 21 | 24.5 | Traffic safety project - there is no lesson in school at this time so please work on this at home. | Deadline for the project is the end of the lesson - 9.45 | This form |
