This year’s physics summer assessment will be posted on this Padlet site on Friday week, the 22nd May. I will also email all students a copy of the exam on Friday week.

This is to be completed and submitted by email to me Brendan.Ferris@rockwellcollege.ie by Friday 29th of May at 5pm latest, this test will form a percentage of the grade reported home.

I understand that the physics material can be difficult to type so I would ask that all handwritten solutions be ‘photographed’ on phones etc. using a free app known as CamScanner that will straighten and crop the photo and send it to me as an easily printable PDF.

We will not be covering any new material next week so you will have some time for revision.

We will cover only topics done in school and remotely since the Christmas exams, so:

HEAT:

Chapters 14 and 15

LIGHT:

Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5

MECHANICS:

Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11

If there’s any queries or hassle getting on the site please send me an email and we’ll get you sorted.

Students have 25 minutes to answer all questions. Once every question is answered, students will instantly receive their grade, percentage and feedback. The grades range from H1 - H8 and O1 - O8. The questions were taken from the State Examinations Commission exam papers. The marking scheme is based on the State Examinations Commission marking scheme with some modifications to suit the Flexiquiz quiz tool.
