Some students appear to be struggling to find the notes. Go to the MENU on your phones and then click on the course materials (with the picture opposite) on from a computer click on the course materials and navigate down until you come to the unit you want. Most of the information is in each topic section. ENJOY!

Doing past papers? Here is a helpful site to give you hints if you get stuck without revealing the answer. Thanks to Mr Hopely for this. It is also useful for Chemistry, Maths, and other subjects we don’t offer here.

2020-2021
Welcome to the National 5 part of the website.
New for 2021-22 is a song for each unit. Each of these were written for GCSE Physics, but you’ll certainly find things in here that are relevant, and some songs fit perfectly with N5. Maybe someone can update this for N5! Here is an example
The introduction to N5 Physics lower down the page under some important student resources.

Compendium
Check you have the correct version
Hot off the presses the updated compendium for 2021/22. This contains an extended relationships sheet with all relationships given in words. You can find a copy of this below.
Your compendium contains N5 content, information on the exam and assignment, maths, Relationships Sheet and Data Sheet. Check off the outcomes as you go through the course.
AND FINALLY THEY ARE FINISHED- Learning Outcome Question Booklet. The answers are now finished and uploaded. All I need do now is a revision to check over the duplicate questions. I am not sure when I’ll get some for that.
Lots of people are scared of Physics and say it is too hard. I can’t claim that Physics will be the easiest subject that you can choose but I describe it like this.
“Some subjects that you choose will be like a walk in the park; very pleasant, quite straightforward, and not very strenuous.
Physics will be like climbing a mountain, hard going, challenging, and testing.

However, at the end of the day what would give you most satisfaction, sense of pride and achievement?
Are you up for a challenge or do you just want an easy ride?”

You can feel the sense of achievement in this photo.
You can experience that too- choose Physics!

I have just started a SWAP STEM course to enable me to go onto p a physics degree next year. Your website is super helpful and I love all the inspirational encouegment as well on your page. It’s keeping me motivated. I’ve been using your website most days!
Thank you so much Kelsey for such lovely comments and I wish you every success as you study for a Physics degree. I hope you’ll be totally successful and enjoy it.
