  4. Get into a routine of expectations, good work routine, how to self study, how to seek help<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Review calculus and its role in AH physics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Begin to get to grips with section 1 in the compendium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Begin to investigate a possible project idea.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Success Criteria<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

      NB You do not have to do these in any particular order, although it would be easier to do some before the others!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. If possible download and print off<\/em> the AH Compendium<\/a>, relationships sheet and data sheet. If not can you download it in an editable form online<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Log into Scholar and check it out. I hope to be using it this year, so I\u2019ll need a refresher too. The notes and questions can be a little awkward but it is a good background. Note there is a SCHOLAR introduction session on 6th May that I recommend you signing up for. Log in through your GLOW LAUNCHPAD<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Check out Mrsphysics AH section<\/a> and familiarise yourself as to where to find things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Check other websites in the list that I am trying to make up on RESOURCES. I am trying to match this to the compendium but the IoP have been working on this for you too. https:\/\/mrmackenzie.co.uk\/advanced-higher\/<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Watch the video on Mr Mitchell’s introduction to AH Physics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Watch the video on Mr Mitchell’s Units, Prefixes and Scientific Notation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Watch the video on Mr Mitchell’s Significant Figures<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      8. Watch the video on Mr Mitchell’s Greek Letters<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      9. and one more watch the video on Mr Mitchell’s Use of Calculators<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      10. Read the course content (course support notes<\/a>)and the project and see if any of the potential projects takes your fancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      11. Get something to make notes in or on, if you don\u2019t have access to a source of paper let me know by GLOW email. You need a jotter for notes, something for tutorials and a daybook for your project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      12. Complete the Higher questions<\/a> and see how many you can do without using your book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      13. Read the document on Calculus<\/a> (pdf) \/ Calculus <\/a>(word) and work through that. There are homework questions for you to tackle in there. You will be marking these next week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
