O-Level Physics

Basic advice for students who are struggling with Physics.
Physics is a notoriously difficult subject. Many students have a tendency to memorize concepts in physics without understanding. I think that when students really try to understand and solve difficult physics problems.
Firstly, try to understand the situation. (Ask which chapter is this from? What concepts are being tested? Naturally, ideas that have been taught will resurface as the student re-associates the problem with his knowledge)
Next, read the questions carefully before organizing the information and ALWAYS draw a diagram if possible!
From the information available, choose the right formula to apply.
Check that units and significant figures are correct.
Learning physics the right way helps to attain a unique problem solving skill that many industries (commerce, banking and finance) are looking out for. Encourage your students to understand the problem instead of repetitive rote learning!
This skill will then take them far in their academic life

Physics and math has some correlation. If the child is good in math, he/she will find it easier to do Physics.

I agree!

Math is the language of Physics. Its quite amazing how these 2 subjects are helping us to understand the fundamental concepts of our World! -

not really. my daughter last time always scoring A for maths but only gets B oso C sometimes with physics. I think most girls have no interest in physics at all

Can be the other way round too. Bad at Maths, good at physics

Hi! I am a newbie to this forum. I would like to introduce myself as Teacher Felina to everyone here. I mentor my students from 9 to 18 years old and my specialisation is Math and Science.
Ya it is possible that the child can be getting straight A in AMath and Emath but not Physics. One way for you to judge if your child should take Physics O levels is to look at the score in lower sec science exam. If the topics were related to Physics and the score was not ideal, it is most likely that the child has no interest or find difficulty in applying the formulas which are related to the concepts. Hope this helps! Thank you! -
Iām looking for IP4 Physics teacher for my girl. She will be in IP4 next year 2021 and currently at TJC
Pls pm me
Thank you -
o level physics notes. you can email me at [email protected] if you have any questionss. i have the whole set ofsec 3 and sec 4 pure physics notes. detailed and simplified.

Is there a list of recommended Physics reference books and workbooks? If child is still in lower sec, should we just get O-Level reference materials and TYS to learn and practice? Or it should be level specific?
Thank you,
