NEW SPACE TEST DATE!

POSTPONED UNTIL FRIDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER.

2 LESSONS OF REVISION REQUIRED BEFORE THEN

A possible date for the Space Test Friday 6th September, but it depends on the content.

I don’t want to cover the energy section until we do with the Dynamics Section.

Learn these Experiment

Thanks to S Gray, Drummond Community High School,  for putting together this book of experiments that you should have covered in your N5 Physics lessons. Any of these could be discussed in your exam as a question.

Homework N5 Starters

This homework is a great introduction to the N5 Assignment, which is worth 20% of your exam.

National 5 PHYSICS Assignment starters

Answer the following Questions from the Understanding Standards website

SQA – Understanding Standards: Introduction

It is important that you spend an adequate time on this homework (an hour is advised). If you complete this thoroughly you ought to have a good grasp of what is required for the Assignment at National 5.

  1. List the five 2023 experiments that have been given as examples for the N5 Physics Assignment, and the further 5 from the 2018 experiments.
  2. In the marking instructions for the assignment how many marks are available for the underlying Physics?
  3. What are the six sections in the data collection and handling (and I don’t want 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d! BTW it isn’t even section 4)
  4. Section 3e and 3f refer to literature and sources. State how you achieve these marks.
  5. What are the marks awarded for when plotting your graph?
  6. To achieve the mark for the conclusion, to what must your conclusion  relate?
  7. For candidate 1, how many repeats of the experiment did they make?
  8. What did candidate 1 do correctly for the graph and what was incorrect?
  9. Mark Candidate 2’s evidence (2023, “How changing the resistance effects current in a series circuit”) thoroughly yourself using the marking scheme and compare your answer to the commentary. Record your results and the comparison. Comment on both of these.
  10. CHOOSE a topic that would be suitable using the Physics Compendium https://mrsphysics.co.uk/n5/ Research some Underlying Physics and find a suitable graph that you can try to replicate.
