This month we have finished the Electric Fields Topic (Chapter 22 in your textbook).

To support and consolidate your understanding, below are some suggested activities:

Review the lesson PowerPoints (Electric Fields PPT 2021_22) or use your textbooks to update and annotate your notes on any areas you are unsure about.

UPLEARN - complete the electric fields section

Complete past paper questions using PMT https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/physics-revision/a-level-ocr-a/module-6/

Flash cards: use these to learn your key definitions https://quizlet.com/gb/387788765/ocr-https://quizlet.com/gb/280962250/16-electric-fields-ocr-physics-a-flash-cards/

Make revision notes or flash cards - use the specification to identify the key areas, and then your textbook/notes to write down the key points. Test yourself and each other!

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT)

https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/physics-revision/a-level-ocr-a/

Great for past paper questions (by topic), definitions and mind maps.

Quizlet

https://quizlet.com/search?query=OCR-Physics-A-level&type=all

Great for learning definitions and testing yourself in lots of different ways!

UPLEARN

https://web.uplearn.co.uk/login

Great for recall and finding out what areas you don't really understand!

A Level Physics Online

https://www.alevelphysicsonline.com/ocr-spec-a

Great for online videos

# data[].attributes.body
These are a fantastic way to revise. Print off the paper and get support from an expert!

Either watch the video as you complete the paper - pay attenuation to the use of language, definitions and hints and tips OR have a go at the paper independently - possibly a question at a time - and then watch the video to see how you could improve your answer.

The two links below have lots of walkthroughs for different papers.
