Fun launching rockets with @BSBDPhysics at @BSPatterdale

This morning I had my first look at the fully assembled #Artemis1 rocket - I’m speechless! Years of dreams and exceptional hard work at @NASA have paid off - WE ARE GOING! Launch window to the Moon opens at 08:33 ET tomorrow! Follow along: nasa.gov/specials/artem…

Better together. International collaboration gave us the most powerful space telescope ever made, and the deepest infrared views of the universe ever seen. With our partners at @esa and @csa_asc, the science can begin. Together we #UnfoldTheUniverse: go.nasa.gov/3azyGqM

Stunning images! Love the energy in the room. Can't wait to see more from @NASAWebb and your detailed video!

Y10 P1H exam - Note Jan exam report - don't write too much & full sentences NOT reqd except on Q that requires continuous prose #p1revision

Y11 doing P1a/P1b on Friday - do pick up hard copies of past papers from C14 All papers and solutions on StudyWiz. All the best #p2revision

Y10 P1H exam Wed - Any last issues - drop in at Physics Tues lunch Lots of revision materials on StudyWiz inc written solutions #p1 revision

All the P1a/P1b papers, grids, mark schemes and AFL marking grids are available electronically from Study Wiz / Sharepoint #p2revision

Taking P1a/P1b on 22nd June? If so drop in to C14 and we can provide you with some past papers to take away for revision #p2revision

Also on Study Wiz are P1a and P1b are colourful Mind Maps and A Revision PowerPoint for P1b. Hope they are of use. #p3revision

Any taking P1a/P1b/P1 in June should download: papers/grids/mark schemes/grade boundaries/AFL sheets from StudyWiz or Sharepoint #P3revision

Well done Y11. P3 and P2 out the way. All the best with the rest!

A small push on an unstable object makes a moment which causes it to topple. The weight line of action is outside the base area. #p3revision

Stable objects have large base areas and a lower centre of mass. Any moment from a small push returns them on to their base #p3revision

When an object is stationary the total clockwise moments = the total anticlockwise moments about any point. #p3revision

Moments are turning forces (units Nm) the moment = force x perpendicular distance of the force line of action from the pivot #p3revision

For waves 1/T = f (Hz). This means that if you divide the time period T for one wave in seconds you get the frequency in Hz #p3revision

Concave mirrors with objects beyond F produce real, inverted images. Magnification depens on the object location At 2F = 1.0 #p3revision

Concave Mirrors produce magnified, virtual and upright images if closer than the Focus - used for makeup mirrors #p3revision

All Convex (curve out) Mirrors produce virtual, upright and diminished images - used for security mirros and wing mirrors #p3revision
