Revision Questions
Introduction
To help provide a broad and flexible revision program – and to match the aims of the Advancing Physics course – we have developed this resource from new and existing material.
There are relevant questions for each chapter of the AS and A2 courses and a Modellus exercise to help develop further understanding or discussion of concepts.
To assist with the Modellus explorations we have provided a brief tutorial that relates to chapters 6 and 7. Download Tutorial (395Kb)
In the spirit of Advancing Physics, we anticipate that teachers and students will create further examples and we can add these to the website.
Submission details are available on the web base submissions page.
This resource has been developed by Mr Stephen Hearn and Dr Keith Fuller.
Getting Started - PCs
The questions and solutions for each of the chapters are provided in Adobe Acrobat format and can be downloaded individually using the links below. Alternatively they can be downloaded as a quick start pack which contains a full set of question sheets and separate solution sheets. The pack is a self-extracting Zip archive, which will install by default in C:\AP Revision. The installation will place the questions and solutions in separate sub-directories within this folder.
Getting Started - Macintoshes
When downloaded, the files appear in the Download Folder (unless you have specified a different target folder). Mac based unzipping such as stuffit expander will open up the file although Macs with a PC emulator recognise the file as having been created on a PC and open up the emulator to expand it there. Once expanded using the Mac software, a folder called ‘PFQS folder’ or ‘CUQS folder’ as appropriate appears in the same location as the zipped file. This can then be read using Acrobat as usual.
