Upcoming Summative Motion and Kinematics — unit test Thu 8 Oct P1 (was 1 Oct — most planning entries below still cite 1 Oct). Posted, ManageBac; unit calendar rebuilt to match 30 Sep. Fri 9 Oct is still a teaching day (half term starts after school, per term-dates.yaml) and 10 R meet P1 — check which students are leaving early for the break.

Week A · 5–9 October

Thu 8 Oct

Unit test — Motion and Kinematics (40 marks, 40 min).

No handout

Week B · 28 September – 2 October

Thu 1 Oct

Kinematics review for the test on Thu 8 Oct.

Test 1: Review Topics — checklist
Tue 29 Sep

Kinematics 7 — v² - u² = 2as, with the rearranging supplement.

Study Techniques
Kinematics 7: v² − u² = 2as
Kinematics 7 Supplement: the four forms

Week A · 21–25 September

Fri 25 Sep

Kinematics 6 — velocity–time graphs (continued).

Kinematics 6: Velocity–Time Graphs
Thu 24 Sep

Kinematics 5 — position–time graphs.

Kinematics 5: Position–Time Graphs
Kinematics 6: Velocity–Time Graphs

Week B · 14–18 September

Thu 17 Sep

Kinematics calculations — displacement, velocity and acceleration.

Straight-line graphs — handout
Kinematics 4: Calculations
Tue 15 Sep

Straight-line graphs, y = mx + b, then the Smart Cart: acceleration down a ramp.

SPARKvue 2 — the software
SPARKvue 1 — connecting
Acceleration down a ramp — Smart Cart
Straight Lines: y = mx + b

Week A · 7–11 September

Fri 11 Sep

Velocity–time graphs — the shape. Smart Cart lab: constant velocity, then a ramp.

Kinematics 3: Constant Velocity
Kinematics 3: Acceleration Down a Ramp
Connecting SPARKvue
Using SPARKvue
PASCO — SPARKvue graph display: linear fit, curve fit and the graph tools
Thu 10 Sep

Introducing motion graphs — position–time, velocity–time and acceleration–time. SPARKvue with the motion sensor, then The Basic 6.

Kinematics Graphing — The Basic 6
The Physics Classroom — Kinematic Graphing interactiveThe Physics Classroom — 1D Kinematics tutorial

Week B · 31 August – 4 September

Thu 3 Sep

Kinematics 1 — Scalars and Vectors. Map your own journey home in My Maps and Google Earth: the driving route gives distance, the straight line gives displacement and a bearing. Then the vocabulary.

Mapping Your Journey
Kinematics 1: Scalars and Vectors — worksheet
Tue 1 Sep

L1 — Energy stores and systems. The eight stores, and store versus pathway.

Energy stores and systems — handout
Burning Question 001 — Which planet has the most energy?

Week A · 24–28 August

Fri 28 Aug

Course expectations, then the course website and the start of P1 Energy
