GCSE to A-Level Transition Workbook GCSE to A-level Transition Workbook Wales High School Science Department Name: _________________________________ Moving from GCSE to A-level physics Introduction Welcome to the A-level physics course at Wales High School. You have chosen to study physics at a higher level, and I applaud your decision. You are about to embark on a two-year journey that few people have completed. There’s a good reason for this – physics is not an easy subject. If it was, everybody would have a degree in physics and the world would be a much better place. Over the coming months your eyes will be opened to a new way of looking at the Universe. I hope that this opportunity is not wasted and that you leave our Sixth Form asking even more questions than when you join it. A lifelong passion for physics will stand you in good stead, irrespective of the direction you travel in life. To help you begin this journey you should complete the tasks set out in this workbook. Ensure you bring this completed workbook with you to your first lesson in September. Of particular importance are the suggestions in the final pages of the workbook, entitled “Become a better physicist”. It is my expectation that you will take this advice to heart and do some, if not all, of the things I’ve suggested to help you improve the way you think about physics. I look forward to seeing you in September. Richard Bembridge – Head of A-level Physics Physics transition work 1. Dealing with symbols and SI units One of the highest jumps between GCSE and AS physics is the way things are written down. At AS-level you will be multiple prefix symbol expected to start using standard scientific notation. 1012 tera- T 109 giga- G Standard notation means: 106 mega- M using the conventional symbols for quantities 3 writing all quantities in terms of SI units (Système 10 kilo- k International) 10-3 milli- m writing very large and very small numbers in 10-6 micro- μ standard form (e.g. 10–6 instead of 0.000001) -9 10 nano- n You will need to have memorised the unit prefixes shown in 10-12 pico- p the table on the right – they are used in exams and it is assumed that you know what they mean. Of course people in the real world don’t use standard scientific notation – you don’t see car speedometers with ms-1 scales on them or tyre pressure gauges calibrated in kNm-1. You’ll also encounter non-standard units in the physics course itself – megaparsecs and electronvolts. In the following ten pairs of quantities, underline the quantity which is greater. –2 a. 12 mW or 12 MW f. 22 x 10 Ω or 220 Ω 3 b. 3.0 μs or 3.0 ns g. 300 kg or 3 x 10 kg 6 c. 27 kV or 27 GV h. 121 kN or 0.0121 x 10 N –6 d. 6 pm or 6 μm i. 30 x 10 F or 0.003 pF 9 e. 1024 TW or 1024 GW j. 14000 MHz or 1.4 x 10 Hz When you write out the name of a unit in full it is always written completely in lower case letters. For example: the unit of power is the watt (symbol W). In the box above, next to each question write the full name of the SI unit in the question. Bonus points if you find out why some symbols are written using upper case, for example N, whereas other unit symbols are written using lower case, for example s. You must bring a working scientific calculator to all of your physics lessons and exams. Your calculator has a button that says ENG . Find out what this button does, and why it will be useful to you on your physics course. Describe the function and usefulness in the space below. 2. Dealing with vector quantities You should already know that a quantity like speed only has a size (e.g. 13 ms-1), but there is another type of quantity (called a vector) that has a size and direction, e.g. a velocity of 13 ms-1 to the left. You can represent velocities with arrows – the longer the arrow the greater the size (speed) of the velocity. At AS-level you will become confident with working in more than one dimension, and in order to do this you will need to master vectors. For example, the formula for working out the change in velocity looks simple enough: change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity However, you can’t just subtract one speed from the other – you have to account for the directions of the two velocities. -1 Example: find the magnitude (size) of the change in velocity if you have an initial velocity of 5 ms to -1 the right and a final velocity of 3 ms downwards. _ = + -1 -1 -1 3 ms 5 ms 3 ms-1 5 ms Δv is the change in velocity. To find this you first reverse the arrow for the initial velocity and then add it (top to tail) to the final velocity. Pythagoras and trigonometry give you the details. = Δv 3 ms-1 Δv2 = 32 + 52 Δv = 5.8 ms-1 θ 5 ms-1 tan θ = 3/5 = 0.6 θ = 31° Have a go at finding the changes in velocity in these two cases: a. initial velocity = 4 ms-1 upwards; final b. initial velocity = 3 ms-1 down; final velocity = 4 ms-1 to the right velocity = 4 ms-1 to the left 3. Dealing with equations One of the biggest problems that students face when moving to A-level is being comfortable and proficient at rearranging formulae. For ‘three-term equations’ like 푭 = 풎풂 or 푽 = 푰푹 it is sometimes useful to teach GCSE students the idea of the ‘formula triangle’. At A-level, however, this will no longer be sufficient. You need to learn how to properly change the subject of a formula since you will meet far more complicated formulae than the simple three-term equations shown above. Remember that the ‘=’ sign in an equation does not mean ‘equals’ – rather it is the ‘equality’ operator. This means that whatever you do to one side of the ‘=’ you must do the same to the other. For example: “Change the subject of the formula 푣 = 푢 + 푎푡 to give 푎” Step 1: subtract 푢 from both sides: 푣 − 푢 = 푎푡 푣−푢 Step 2: divide both sides by 푡: = 푎 푡 Have a go at these (hard) rearrangements: 1 2 2 2 푠 = 푢푡 + 푎푡 푣 = 푢 + 2푎푠 2 Find 푎. Find 푢. (−푡/푅푐) 푦 = 푚푥 + 푐 푉 = 푉0푒 Find 푚. Find 푡. Become a better physicist You have chosen to join us to study physics. The assumption is, then, that you want to become better at physics. The ideas on the following pages will help you with that. 1. Join the Institute of Physics (IOP) Join the Institute of Physics – it is completely free for A-level students, although if you want to receive paper copies of the monthly ‘Physics World’ magazine then there is an annual fee. At the very least you can get a monthly update on the latest physics news, and also read in-depth articles about current cutting-edge physics topics. The direct link is: http://members.iop.org/16-19.asp and in the ‘school details’ section you need to enter the school name: Wales High School Storth Lane Kiveton Park Sheffield S26 5QQ and your teacher name: Mr Bembridge 2. Read books about physics and science It will help you to stand back and see physics in its wider context, and also to look in more detail at some areas of physics that you may currently know very little about. I consider reading the two books in bold below to be the easiest way for you to do this, and they’re something that would be easy to obtain and simple for you to take away with you on holiday. Both books are written at a level that assumes very little about your prior subject knowledge, but reading them will stretch you into areas that go beyond university level. The other books are also highly recommended. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson Big Bang: The Most Important Scientific Discovery of All Time and Why You Need to Know About It by Simon Singh A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut’s Journeys by Michael Collins (the Apollo 11 astronaut) 13 Things That Don’t Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time by Michael Brooks Surely You’re Joking Mr Feynman by Richard P Feynman and Ralph Leighton Six Easy Pieces: Fundamentals of Physics Explained by Richard P Feynman (or any other book by the same author) If you don’t want to pay the full price for the books then they can often be found in charity shops, Amazon or eBay (other websites are available). If you don’t want to pay anything remember that your local public library should be able to help you. 3. Watch online video Watch any or all of the “Schools Lecture series” videos made by the Institute of Physics. Don’t be put off by the title – they are all presented by experts in physics at the right kind of level, and the topics covered will really help you understand some of the details of the A- level course.

  • Super-Curricular Suggestions
    Super- curricular suggestions Strong applicants to Cambridge and other competitive universities tend to have explored their chosen subject through wider reading outside the classroom, as well as doing very well in their GCSEs and A-levels. We call this sort of exploration ‘super-curricular’, as it builds on and enhances what you are studying in school. We do not expect you to pay for this sort of exploration and have endeavoured to provide resources that are mostly freely available. This selection of suggested reading lists and resources has been gathered from the Cambridge departmental and College websites, other universities and other sources on the internet. These lists are certainly NOT ‘required reading’ for Cambridge applicants. They simply provide some suggestions for places to start exploring your own interests in your chosen subject independently - you do not need to engage with any of the specific websites, books, podcasts etc mentioned and can easily find your own alternatives. The following lists are suggestions only. It is important to read critically by thinking carefully about the arguments, assumptions and evidence presented by the author. Reading is a great way to explore subjects that you find interesting – but there are many other ways to deepen your understanding: investigate your local museums, monuments, galleries and natural features, and think analytically about nature, machinery or the built environment. After the COVID-19 lockdown, perhaps you can visit some of these! The best thing about super-curricular activities is that there are no exams or deadlines to worry about – you are free to follow your own lines of enquiry into the areas that interest you the most.

  • (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1
    (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1 REBECCA CATTO Coventry University JANET ECCLES Independent Researcher Abstract The development and public prominence of the ‘New Atheism’ in the West, particularly the UK and USA, since the millennium has occasioned considerable growth in the study of ‘non-religion and secularity’. Such work is uncovering the variety and complexity of associated categories, different public figures, arguments and organi- zations involved. There has been a concomitant increase in research on youth and religion. As yet, however, little is known about young people who self-identify as atheist, though the statistics indicate that in Britain they are the cohort most likely to select ‘No religion’ in surveys. This article addresses this gap with presentation of data gathered with young British people who describe themselves as atheists. Atheism is a multifaceted identity for these young people developed over time and through experience. Disbelief in God and other non-empirical propositions such as in an afterlife and the efficacy of homeopathy and belief in progress through science, equality and freedom are central to their narratives. Hence belief is taken as central to the sociological study of atheism, but understood as formed and performed in relationships in which emotions play a key role. In the late modern context of contemporary Britain, these young people are far from amoral individualists. We employ current theorizing about the sacred to help understand respondents’ belief and value-oriented non-religious identities in context. Keywords: Atheism, Youth, UK, Belief, Sacred Phil Zuckerman (2010b, vii) notes that for decades British sociologist Colin Campbell’s call for a widespread analysis of irreligion went largely un- heeded (Campbell 1971).

  • Jocelyn Bell Burnell
    DAME JOCELYN BELL BURNETT Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell Jocelyn is a Northern Irish born astrophysicist and astronomer, with a lifetime of inspiring scientific leadership in research, education and public service. Born 1943 in Lurgan to Quaker parents. Didn’t excel at Lurgan College, where girls were supposed to study less academic subjects. Aged 13, her parents sent her to The Mount School, York, a Quaker boarding school, where she flourished. She then went to Glasgow University, followed by post- grad studies in radio-astronomy at New Hall, Cambridge. Part of a team which built the 4-acre radio telescope to monitor quasers. Jocelyn painstakingly analysed reams of paper output, spotting curious signals in the data which were discovered to be a new type of object, later named pulsars. Findings published in 1968, with Jocelyn’s name second on the paper, to huge media interest: her supervisor was asked about astrophysics, Jocelyn quizzed about boyfriends and hair colour! The 2 senior professors awarded Nobel Prize for the discovery, which Jocelyn accepted with good grace. Married to a civil servant, Jocelyn had to move around the country with him, so worked at Southampton, London, and Edinburgh, and also from 1973 working with the Open University, where in 1991 she became Professor of Physics, doubling the number of women physics professors in the UK. Jocelyn has received numerous accolades and awards, becoming a Dame in 2007 for her services to astronomy. In 2018 she received a Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, and donated all the £2.3 million prize money to the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund which assists female, ethnic minority and refugee students in their research.
