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.
SPACE
Mrs Physics and Ms Horn are working on the last unit for the N5 course- the new Space Topic.
There have been several changes from the previous outcomes. This ought to be the most up to date work.
You can read about some of the risks of human spaceflight in the infographic below.

Here are a few links and documents. Hope you can get access to them.

Revision Questions
Thanks to those in North Ayrshire who provided these excellent questions for you to get your teeth into. I’ll post the answers as password protected to protect those students and staff who are given these for homework! They’re in the old order, so you’ll have to search through for the right section.
ENJOY!

Someone has pinched my line!
and I had this idea at Science on Stage!
For those doing the UASP -Electricity and Energy
- Revise the type of energy and conversion
- Gravitational potential
- Kinetic
- Work done
- Heat
- Electrical
- Practical electrical and electronic circuits
- Ohm’s law
- Electrical practical circuits
- Electrical power
- Specific Heat Capacity
- Pressure
- Gas Laws
- Kinetic Theory
Try the following questions
Specimen Paper:
Section 1: q6, 10, 11, 12, 13,14,15,16,17, Section 2: Q5, 6, 7, 8

Learn the units for all the electricity quantities, properties of matter and energy quantities.
I’ll add to this during the week as I have time
If you are doing a PROPERTIES OF MATTER TEST
Look over some OLD Higher papers for the Pressure and Gas Laws as well as the relevant past papers above. I’ll look out the papers with question numbers as soon as I can.
If you’re doing the Waves and Radiation UASP I’ll get some revision plans up soon

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
https://www.understandingstandards.org.uk/Subjects/Physics
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.
- List the twelve experiments that have been given as examples for the N5 Physics Assignment.
- In the marking instructions for the assignment how many marks are available for the underlying Physics?
- 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)
- Section 3e and 3f refer to literature and sources. How do you achieve these marks?
- What are the marks awarded for when plotting your graph?
- What must your conclusion be related to, to achieve the mark?
- For candidate 1, how many repeats of the experiment did they make?
- What did candidate 1 do correctly for the graph and what was incorrect?
- Mark Candidate 2’s evidence thoroughly yourself using the marking scheme and compare your answer to the commentary. Record your results and the comparison. Comment on both of these.
- 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.
