PHYSICS BADGES

BADGE as Real-Time Progress Report in PHYSICS

[Frequently updated depending on the Physics topics covered]

The badges should serve as a checklist of Physics concepts and skills in using Distance Learning tools/simulations. It should be interpreted as a real-time progress report for students and parents alike.

If a student received a badge, he./she is likely ready to answer questions related to the Cambridege International examinations AOs targeted by the badge.
If a student failed to get a badge, he/she has to review those concepts again and re-evaluate herself/himself as to whether he/she already has it by attempting to earn the badge again.

The images [at the right] are linked to the syllabuses where AOS are listed, from which the jobs, missions and quests/tests leading to badge ownership are based. Go through the file that corresponds to your course. You may download it also if you feel you would it it offline.

POWER BADGES

Power badges are those earned in jobs or missions that required in-depth understanding of Physics concepts. A power badge represents students' mastery of certain Physics concepts associated with it and linked to a set of objectives or AOs in the Cambridge International O Level or AS/A Level syllabus.

Significant Figures

This +20-point badge is awarded to students who completed an 'escape room' with tasks on SFs and already in possession of the Vernier Caliper/Micrometer SAVVY Badge.

Caliper/Micrometer

A +10-point badge awarded to students who completed an 'escape room' using correct measurements and proper operations involving Vernier caliper and micrometer.

Refraction/Snell's Law

This +20-point badge certifies S.P.A. kids who understand Snell's Law and are able to apply it in solving variety of problems involving refraction.

Kinematics

A +20-point badge given to students who were able to display knowledge and understanding of distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration.

Graphing Data

As experiment is an integral part of Physics, a +20-point badge is created for those who could display understanding of Cambridge's AO3 and laboratory skills i.e. analyzing data through graphs.

Accelerated Motion

This +20-point badge is given to students who has the mastery of subject content related to acceleration [Chapter 2] in relation to Cambridge's AO1 and Ao2.

Physical Quantities

This +10-points badge is on the 2 competencies in 1.1 of syllabus' subject content. It is given to students who showed mastery of these competencies.

S.I. Units

A number of conventions are indicated in the syllabus. Students who showed mastery of those are given this +10-point badge.

Static Electricity

A +20-point badge awarded to students who were able to show mastery of Chapter / Content 18 a - k of Cambridge's O Level syllabus.

Description of Motion

Content Section II of O Level syllabus is on Newtonian Mechanics. This +20-point badge can be gained by mastering the first part of this section, kinematics.

Turning Effect [O]

A +20 project points badge awarded to those who scored not less than 80% in the O.A. / assignment about concepts from Chapter 4.

Turning Effect [A]

A +20 project points badge awarded to those who scored not less than 80% in the O.A. / assignment about concepts from Chapter 4.

Magnets [O]

A +20 project points badge awarded to those who scored not less than 80% in the O.A. / assignment about the concept of a magnet.

Electromagnetism

Elasticity

Energy

ENERGY BADGES

Energy badges are rewards to students who successfully proved their skills in using technology in Physics class and displaying acceptable behaviors aligned with the school's PIAGET values. Some of the badges under this type are related to the 5% Project component, i.e. contribution on the content of this website, of the student's final grade.

Badge Owner

A +2-point badge earned by those who were able to place their first badge in signature [email]. A series of +2-point for every badge earned posted together [with this badge] in a platform that could get at least 10 recognitions e.g. likes is required to earn the point.

Punctuality

In recognition of the idea that attitudes matter for the success in completing any courses, a +30-point badge is created to reward those who have recorded 3 consecutive submissions of quality work on time.

Project Contribution

A +10-point badge to be awarded to students who have directly contributed content in the 'Gamified PHYSICS' Google Site.

Students can obtain multiple badges of this type up to maximum of 3.

Science Journal

This +15 point badge is to be awarded to students who are able to display data gathering and evaluation skills with the use of Google Science Journal app.

Watch out for badge updates. More badges are coming your way as we go from one Physics concept to another.
