Revision

We will be looking at some different types of exam questions.

For every question you will be given time to try them yourself, one mark = one
minute.
After that we will review the mark scheme.
Your teacher might decide to skip some for time but you can attempt them for
yourself later.
The question papers are on the learning platform as Week 27 – Exam Questions

Download the question papers and work through them as we go through today.
Question 1 – Pressure and States of Matter (11 marks)

Plenary – Reflection Questions

1. What strengths can you identify

in your work today?

2. How might you improve what you

have done today? Why might it
be an improvement?

Useful Recourses
On the learning platform in Week 27 you will see
‘Physics Practical Notes’
This contains one document for each unit outlining the
practical activities you will need to revise
Have a good look through these to remind yourself of
these practicals – especially the ones from Year 10.
Remember - Read the Question!

 Really read the question

 Look for the command words
 Read ALL of the question
 Read the ACTUAL question
 DON’T answer the first bit you recognise
 Read the question again!
