Welcome to IB Physics (HL) year 2!
Website Exploration Activity :) Open this file and have fun exploring! (.docx)
Welcome back! I hope you're ready for another great year of even more physics fun! This year we will start with a tiny bit of review to make sure you remember what we covered last year...and what you may have to review on your own using your assessment statements and last year's notes! Last year's notes can be found in the "syllabus information" section of the drop-down menu under "IB Physics 2" (or...just click HERE). I'll do my best to make sure that all of last year's power points are added to that page.
This year we will be covering a bit more about gravitation and gravitational fields (picking up where we left off last spring), Electrostatics, magnetism, electric circuits, and the interactions between electric and magnetic fields, Energy production, More Quantum and Nuclear physics, Thermodynamics, Wave phenomena, and a little astrophysics! Whew! Given the amount of material we need to cover before the HL Physics exam in May, there will be after-school sessions to cover the information for the two "Options", Astrophysics and Biomedical Physics. If you choose to study one of the other "Options" (Special and General Relativity, Particle Physics, Electromagnetic Waves, or Communications), you will be doing so on your own--but I will supply you resources/readings/practice problems to help with your studies. The study of our Options topics for Exam Paper 3 will take place after our February Break.
