Dynamics N5 Resources

Hi crew, Here are the resources for the N5 Dynamics Topic. Let’s start with a couple of song and then a bit of history  to get you ready. There’s so much here to help you on your Physics journey.

I can’t condone where the guy places his hands in the first video but it is a good song.

A great FORCEFUL video.

Newton's Laws to Song

Newton’s 1, 2 and 3

For those like me who like a bit of history. I can recommend a visit to Newton’s House, see the graffiti he put in his room.

A comprehensive set of notes for self study.

A beautiful set of Mindmap templated from A Milner for the N5 Dynamics part of the course available as word or pdf versions.

A comprehensive set of notes for self study.

Mr Cunningham’s colourful fill in notes and questions to cover the VECTORS AND SCALARS part of the Dynamics unit.

Mr Cunningham’s colourful fill in notes & questions to cover the ACCN AND V-T GRAPHS part of the Dynamics unit.

Mr Cunningham’s colourful fill in notes and questions to cover  NEWTON’S THREE LAWS OF MOTION part of the Dynamics unit.

Mr Cunningham’s colourful fill in notes and questions to cover the PROJECTILE MOTION part of the Dynamics unit.

Mr Cunningham’s colourful fill in notes and questions to cover the WORK DONE AND ENERGY part of the Dynamics unit.

A link to S T brilliant N5 Physics app.

A few questions on finding v, d and t. In pdf and word. I’ve even shown the quick answers and the worked answers, so it isn’t much good setting it as a homework!

Scalars and Vectors

Resources to help you know your scalars from your Vectors

A summary sheet showing some of the work covered in S3 Physics.

Alba Ranger d,v and a versus t

A set of data in excel or pdf for a trolley rolling down a slope giving distance, velocity and acceleration against time.

Covering the ways to measure acceleration, after you’ve learned the proper definition.

A cartoon image of Mrs Physics pointing at the title Velocity-time graphs.

Velocity Time Graphs

A powerpoint presentation on velocity time graphs, based on Mr Cunninghams Int 2 Physics

To be added

A space for your resources

 

Scalars, Vectors, Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration including required expts, with a strong Road Safety focus

Unit Summary

A comprehensive set of notes for self study.

 

One of many powerpoints on Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion. It’s too big to upload so can only be uploaded as a pdf. Fill in a contact form if you need the real thing

Resources to help you know your scalars from your Vectors

A set of questions to ensure complete coverage of the DYNAMICS UNIT. These are matched to the outcome numbers, use for homework, revision, self-study. Fully worked answers below.

DYNAMICS Outcome worked solutions

The fully worked answers to the learning outcome questions which match the outcomes in the compendium, use for homework, revision, self-study.

A comprehensive set of write-on notes from Anderson HS. Suitable for N4 and N5 (also with space)

A comprehensive set of write-on FORCES notes from Anderson HS. Suitable for N4 and N5

A powerpoint on the physics of parachutes in line with N5 Physics.

Other mind maps by Melanie Ehsan, with thanks to eSgoil (who provide lots of online materials)/

A set of questions to practice projectile motion

Based on S2 work, covering some dynamics and space. A great diagram of how g changes with h, excuse the poor use of the term gravity.

Mass v Weight

You’ll be singing along to this brilliant version of Sweet Caroline.

A comprehensive set of notes for self study.

 

Practice with these Dynamics wordwalls, but remember these only form a small part of your revision. It is not proven to help revise scalars and vectors, but fun! Don’t spend all evening on this one.

For those that remember Intermediate 2, you’ll find a lot of material in here suitable for N5.

A set of teachers notes to accompany the student notes.

Mr C’s original colourful write on notes covering lots of N5 materials. Sorry about the green.

A nice boxed set of summary notes for the Dynamics Topic with clear suitability of N4 and N5. Not sure who to credit for them.
