Memory
For a subject that is heavily 'applied', there are still facts and definitions to memorise. One technique to support your memory development is the use of mind maps or revision notes. These should not be an exact copy of these site pages or your textbook, but instead a visual summary.
Check out our Pairing games for a fun way to learn the facts!
Here are some examples:
Measurement and uncertainty - All
Mechanics - All
Mechanics - Bitesize
Thermal - All (and some bonus Engineering)
Thermal - Bitesize
Oscillations & waves - Most (all but Standing Waves)
Oscillations & waves - Bitesize
Electric fields & electricity - Bitesize (but not Magnetism)
Gravitation - But not Circular Motion
Circular motion & gravitation
Energy Production
AHL Waves - All
AHL Waves - Bitesize
AHL Fields - All
AHL Fields - Bitesize (Gravitation only)
Engineering - SL Quantities and Equations
Virtual tutor
By using the virtual tutor you will learn how to solve problems, top up your understanding of concepts and brush up your mathematical skills all at the same time. There are even some funny bits.
- If you are not sure of the question, it will be clarified.
- If you have forgotten a definition, you will be reminded.
- If you don’t understand a concept, it will be explained.
Once you know what physics to apply, it’s often just a matter of manipulating equations to find the answer. This will all be split into stages with animations to show the bits you can’t do.
Problems
You should regularly test your knowledge of physics to ensure that you are exam-ready. Our multiple choice questions come with explanations - worth a read even if your response was accurate!
StudyIB has started a bank of worked solutions for you to understand how you performed in past papers.
