P2 Physics - end of section homework resources

Section 1: Motion

We've spent the first few lessons of this term reviewing work you did with Mr Altaf at the end of last term. Make sure you can calculate distance, time, speed and acceleration using the two equations we've met, and that you understand the meaning of the slopes of distance and velocity time graphs, and the area under a velocity-time graph.

We will have a test on this on Monday 26th September - below are links to questions with answers for your homework.

1.2 Velocity and acceleration sheet and answers.
1.3 Velocity-time graphs sheet and answers.
1.4 Using graphs [higher] homework sheet and answers.
Summary questions and answers.
Exam-style questions and answers.

How People Affect the Planet


The final section of Biology for this year looks at how human activities affect the environment.

Here are the exam-style questions for this section.

We will return to the revision of this and the other sections after your ISA next week, and you should complete these questions by Wednesday 16th February.

Here are summary questions for the section if you want some extra practice.

This is the website we looked at which maps births, deaths and CO2 emissions:

The origin of life, evolution and extinction

We began this section by looking at the origins of life on Earth.

Here's the video we watched in a lesson, putting forward the mainstream scientific view of how life started around three billion years ago:

The Origin of Life Made Easy

The author of this video is perhaps a bit preoccupied with debunking anti-evolution claims made by creationists, but the science in this and the other two videos below is very sound and clearly explained. If you are religious, remember that this doesn't actually need to be debate about the existence of God, but it is a debate about whether the intervention of a creator is necessary to explain the origin and variety of life...

Natural Selection Made Easy

The Theory of Evolution Made Easy

Your homework is to complete the exam style questions below by Friday 4th February. If you think you need some extra practice do the summary questions too.
