Thanks to Steph Taylor for this great resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorwebapps.site\/mc%20physics%20nat5\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.taylorwebapps.site\/mc%20physics%20nat5\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Essentially, it is a comprehensive, interactive study tool built entirely around the SQA\u00a0 multiple-choice questions for both Higher and National 5 (including specimen papers and Revised Higher papers). I wanted to create something that moves beyond just giving students a PDF of past papers. DELTA gives them a way to actively track their weak spots, drill specific topics, and get a bit of gamified encouragement along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It runs entirely in the browser and was designed to fit a phone screen. It is perfect for phones, tablets, or Chromebooks and is touch-aware. All of a student&#8217;s progress and stats are saved locally on their own device. They can save progress to a file to sync between devices if they wish.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They each have an &#8216;Information&#8217; choice in the floating access button at the bottom right. This button also houses the stats, the heat map, the data sheet and the relationships sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DELTA Physics: What\u2019s under the hood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to point your students towards it, here is a quick rundown of what the app can actually do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Core Modes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard Practice:<\/strong>\u00a0Students can filter the database by Unit, Topic, or Year (or shuffle them all). They get instant feedback, and it tracks their current correct-answer streak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exam Mode:<\/strong>\u00a0Simulates paper conditions. It hides the answers until the end and runs a timer. Students can choose strict SQA pacing (1.8 minutes per question) or a more relaxed pace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review Mode:<\/strong>\u00a0A smart playlist. The app remembers what questions a student gets wrong and creates a custom quiz forcing them to fix their outstanding errors before they can clear the queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;A&#8221; Mark Only:<\/strong>\u00a0A quick toggle that filters the database to only show the toughest discriminator questions for your high-flyers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenge Mode:<\/strong>\u00a0A sudden-death survival game. Students try to build the longest streak possible. To help them survive, they get three single-use &#8220;Lifelines&#8221; (Decay to remove 2 wrong answers, Rebound to shield a mistake, or Discharge to skip).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tracking &amp; Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Heatmap:<\/strong>\u00a0A visual grid covering every topic in the course. As students master questions, the grid turns from red to green, showing them exactly where their revision time is best spent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Focus List:<\/strong>\u00a0If a student gets stuck, they can hit a button to bookmark the question to their Focus List. They can then pull this list up in class to ask you about specific SQA questions they are struggling with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Badges &amp; Stats:<\/strong>\u00a0A bit of gamification to keep them motivated. They earn badges for total questions answered, hitting streak milestones, or even revising at certain times of the day (like the &#8220;Night Owl&#8221; or &#8220;Early Bird&#8221; badges).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Built-in Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Digital SketchPad:<\/strong>\u00a0Students can pull up an on-screen notepad to scribble down working, or physically draw over the question image to annotate forces, circuits, or rays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resource Drawer:<\/strong>\u00a0The SQA Data Sheet and Relationships Sheet are built directly into a quick-access menu, so they don&#8217;t have to juggle multiple tabs while working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dark Mode:<\/strong>\u00a0Because no student wants to stare at a bright white screen at 10 PM!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks a million Mr S Taylor, this is really great, and will be well used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If people want to &#8220;buy him a coffee&#8221; get in touch and I&#8217;ll pass on your details, or his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">February 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is hot off the presses today and is an excellent app, based on N5 paper.
