Access 2 Physics A new course for 2007!
Access 2 Physics Energy Electricity Light, Colour and Sound Forces Magnetism Earth and Space
Talking Writing Planning Recording - sound Recording - video Presenting - posters, leaflets, powerpoints, talks, mp3s, videos. Looking at books Looking at posters Watching videos Using the internet Doing surveys Explaining Drawing conclusions Access 2 PhysicsHow will we work?
Energy Sources and use of energy Measure solar energy in different places Investigate solar panels (number and angle) Do a survey to find which sources of energy we use to heat our homes. Find out about renewable and non- renewable sources of energy.
Sources and use of energy Measure solar energy in different places Investigate solar panels (size of panel, brightness of bulb and angle from bulb)
Investigating Solar Panels How does the size of the panel affect the voltage? Put the following statements in order - Collect a solar cell, multimeter and two wires. Measure the voltage on the meter Do it again with different sizes of solar panel Connect the meter to the solar cell
Investigating Solar Panels How does the size of the panel affect the voltage? Results Was there a pattern? ...................................................................... How could we improve next time? .................................................
Investigating Solar Panels How does the angle of the panel affect the voltage? Put the following statements in order - Collect a solar cell, multimeter and two wires. Measure the voltage on the meter Do it again with solar panel at different angles Connect the meter to the solar cell
Investigating Solar Panels How does the angle of the panel affect the voltage? Results Was there a pattern? ...................................................................... How could we improve next time? .................................................
Investigating Solar Panels How does the brightness of the bulb affect the voltage? Put the following statements in order - Collect a solar cell, multimeter and two wires, a power supply two wires and a bulb. Switch on and measure the voltage on the meter Do it again with the bulb at different brightness Connect the meter to the solar cell and the bulb to the power supply.
Investigating Solar Panels How does the brightness of the bulb affect the voltage? Results Was there a pattern? ...................................................................... How could we improve next time? .................................................
Sources and use of energy Do a survey to find which sources of energy we use to heat our homes. Find out about renewable and non- renewable sources of energy.
Sources and use of energy Which appliance costs the most to use?
Ways to save money at home Making a Survey What questions will we ask? Who will we give the survey to? How long will we give them to complete it? What will we do with our results?
Energy Energy changers Operate appliances and spot energy changes Build a roller or projectile launcher and investigate. Investigate wind up toys Find the energy content of different types of food.
Energy Heat energy Investigate heating solids, liquids and gases Test conductivity of metals Test materials for best insulator Find out about heat loss from houses and ways to insulate them Find out about times needed to cook foods
