Scheme:
- Booklets to have objectives, notes, labs and classwork in them. There will be an emphasis on good quality notes. Work not completed during lesson is to be finished independently. These collected regularly and/or graded in class and will be graded as CWK (20%)
- Homework set weekly and independently of the booklets. The aim is to include some reading from web/textbook, a concept question, one or two multiple choice question(s) and a longer answer question. May use questions set from the textbook. Graded as HWK (30%)
- Tests every month or end of unit - haven't decided yet and need to discuss with the department..... Graded as IGCSE (50%)
NOTE: S10 will have a slightly different syllabus to S11 as the exam board has changed the course slightly. The pages above reflect the updated syllabus. 2018 S11 students do not need to learn about:
- The equation of motion
- Specific heat capacity
