Physics 9A
Year 9 (MYP) · Group A
Week B · 28 September – 2 October
Period of a Pendulum: taking the data.
Period of a Pendulum — planning: groups, variables, method.
Week B · 14–18 September
Criterion C write-up — Hooke's Law.
Hooke's Law in a spreadsheet — the same data given to a machine: scatter chart, trendline, and whether it agrees with the line they drew by hand.
Week A · 7–11 September
Finishing the Hooke's Law packet — graphs by hand first, then the same data as a spreadsheet.
Week B · 31 August – 4 September
L02 — Modelling a spring. Students build Hooke's Law from their own data (measure, tabulate, plot, line of best fit); first spreadsheet work.
Modelling and diagramming, using a pendulum — how physicists communicate an idea on paper; gravity as a vector that does not change on Earth. Unit 1, L01. (9B had this 27 Aug; 9A catching up.)
