Assessments: there will be an assessed experiment, deadline not yet decided
Test date: 3 May
| Week number | Date | Lesson content | Lesson resources and links | Homework |
| 2 | 11.1 | Introduction to physics this year. Understanding heat and temperature - what are they ? How are they measured. Temperature scales. | Coping with physics sheet 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 | How do thermometers work ? The particle model of matter and how it explains many everyday phenomena. | Revising temperature scales: celsius and kelvin The Particle Model diagram lesson notes If you missed the lesson: watch these videos Temperature scales How an old thermometer works and in your notebook explain how the thermometer works. Drawing the particle model diagram too may be useful for the test later. | watch this video as it will go over what we did in the lesson. There is no written task with this homework. |
| 4 | 25.1 | Heat survey in A-building; comparing thermometers. How does heat move ? Conduction, convection and radiation | Lesson notes If you missed the lesson: watch this video Heat transfer info video and take the notes from the lesson. | This form |
| 5 | 1.2 | No lesson | ||
| 6 | 8.2 | Investigating radiation; discussing variables Distance learning | Checking understanding on conduction, convection and radiation by going through the homework. Radiation from objects: black and white surfaces. Using the scientific method - what are variables. Thermal image Heat loss from a human body in cold weather Investigation planning sheet Experiment video Experiment photo Lesson notes | Complete this form |
| 7 | 15.2 | How to record results, make conclusions and evaluate experiments. | Presentation on variables Video on variables Carrying out the black/white cooling experiment. Writing a conclusion and making an evaluation. | This form |
| 8 | 22.2 | Concluding and evaluating last week's experiment. Starting the 'foil insoles' investigation | Lesson notes Instruction sheet for the investigation (Hox! if you open this, please then download it as a word document as otherwise the formatting is weird) Writing frame in word format (open with google docs and then download) Writing frame as pdf | Complete the purpose and apparatus sections of the planning sheet. |
| 9 | 1.3 | Investigation | Collecting results. | No homework |
| 11 | 15.3 | Investigation | Completing the plan and processing the results. Starting the conclusion. Class results | Work for about 20 minutes on the investigation. |
| 12 | 22.3 | Investigation | Completing the conclusion and evaluation. The deadline for the investigation is the end of this lesson. If you have finished the investigation, then create a powerpoint slide which explains how a sea breeze works using the ideas of conduction, convection and radiation. Send it to me when complete. | No homework |
| 13 | 29.3 | The Electromagnetic spectrum | Introduction to electromagnetic waves video (and a lesson in history!) Parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and their uses. Lesson notes | Watch out for rainbows in the sky eg from solar halos on sunny days. |
| 14 | 5.4 | No lesson | ||
| 15 | 12.4 | Light and reflection | Visible light - the rainbow. Newton's experiment Video - colour Drawing light rays Reflection from mirrors. Angles of incidence and reflection Lesson notes | Reflection from a curved mirror. Take a shiny metal spoon and look at your reflection from the spoon when it is concave side up and then convex side up. In your notebook describe the reflections eg bigger, smaller, upside down, left-right reversed. Does it matter how far away you are ? |
| 16 | 19.4 | Refraction | What is refraction ? Refraction through curved prisms and lenses. Total internal reflection. Lesson notes | Take time to go through your notes in preparation for the test on May 3rd. |
| 17 | 26.4 | Studying for the test | Practice study questions Lesson activity | 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. | ||
| 19 | 10.5 | Properties of waves - amplitude, frequency, transverse, longitudinal, sound, ultrasound | Lesson notes | No homework |
| 20 | 17.5 | Waves project | Tasks. Open the project and then save it with your own name in the title. Earthquake waves Waves and mobile phones Surfing and water waves Waves from space Ultrasound waves | Work on the project (20 minutes) |
| 21 | 24.5 | Waves project | Distance learning (work with your partner through Teams) - continue working on the task for this lesson. It is due in at 15.00 - the end of the lesson. | This form |
