Physical Science Resources
General
- There are some flashcards and tests on CPO Physical Science at Quizlet.com.
- You might be able to browse through the textbook HERE or HERE. For the first of those links, if you want to go to a certain page then add 10 to the desired page number. For example, if you want to go to page 210 then request page 220.
- FuseSchool has 52 videos on physics on YouTube. Most last between 3 and 5 minutes.
- FuseSchool also has more than 200 videos on chemistry on YouTube. Most last between 3 and 5 minutes. Be sure to watch only the ones that are relevant to our course!
- www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/videos has many good videos for chemistry, physics and biology for about grade 10 level (they are designed for British GCSE level).
- Let Professor Dave explain physics to you!
By topic
Physics
Electricity and Magnetism
- Current & Magnetic Fields video (2 minutes)
- This video on electric motors goes way beyond what you need to know.
Waves and Oscillations
- Wave Behaviour (reflection , refraction etc, especially for light. Video, 4minutes.
- Transverse and Longitudinal Waves video.
CHEMISTRY
Videos on Freesciencelessons.co.uk
As we start to study chemistry, our textbook presents many important ideas in a small number of pages - you may need extra help to understand these concepts. Freesciencelessons.co.uk has some good introductory chemistry lessons HERE. I strongly suggest you check out the videos on that page called
- Alpha Scattering experiment (Rutherford's gold foil experiment)
- The nuclear model
- Atomic Number and mass number
- Electron Energy levels
Each video is very short, about 4 minutes, so you could watch all four of those videos in about 16 minutes! You should watch the videos in order, so don't start with the one below, which is the one about electron energy levels. Warning: like your textbook, it tells a white lie about the third energy level, saying it can contain up to 8 electrons when in fact in can contain up to 18 electrons. If you don't believe me then ask Google "How many electrons can the third energy level contain?"
Freesciencelessons.co.uk has a video about the periodic table, and you can find another good one HERE. For other chemistry resources, see the resources page that I have made for the grade 10/11 chemistry class.
