Physics

For each lesson hour indicated below Use the “save my exam questions” and submit to RBE when completed – it is not expected that all of the questions for each hour are completed but select ones that you know that you will struggle with and challenge yourself. Use the electronic copy of the textbook to support you. Email for any further assistance – it will help if you add photographs or screenshots of any particular questions that you struggle with.

Note that lessons for engineering physics will be posted online for you to watch – keep an eye on emails for links to access them.
