S3 Physics

Week commencing 8th March

We have concluded the content within the Waves and Radiation topic. All pupils should now be starting a period of revision of all the content we have covered since the start of S3.

Summary notes should be completed with the aid of the documents available on Teams.

Homework exercises 6, 7 and 8 should be completed and submitted on the assignments tab by the end of this week.

The Class Notebook contains notes, worked examples, embedded videos and simulations covering the whole topic and should be explored. This is an available tab within Teams on computers but may require the OneNote app to be downloaded on mobile devices.

Mr Savage will host a live tutorial – based on past paper questions – on Thursday Period 4.

Higher Physics

Week commencing 22nd February

Firstly, a reminder that the Electric Fields assignment is due today.

The relevant pages of the Summary Notes should be read prior to the recorded lesson which will be available shortly. Past Paper questions have been posted which should be attempted.

Live Tutorial on Thursday will be going over these questions.

S3 Girls – “Engineering the Future for Girls”

The University of Strathclyde are running (remotely) their annual programme this June aimed at inspiring S3 girls to pursue careers in engineering.  This will happen through hearing from female engineers within industry and taking a glimpse into what a career in engineering could look like.

Applications are open to anyone, however as there are only 100 places available it would be best suited for those with a keen interest in Science, Technology and/or Engineering – this will need to be demonstrated within their personal statement and details will have to be given of a teacher who can support this. For this reason, ideally you will be currently studying Physics and/or Chemistry.
