Ok, this is the last I'm sharing for today. This one is quite an important bit for physics. It's the pesky last chapter for the current physics syllabus - electromagnetic induction. I did this years ago, and thought that it's still very useful for present usage. Damn, should have issued this instead of having to write ALL of them out during my class. What a splendid time saver...zzz...
Here it is - electromagnetic induction notes.
Since i'm at the mood of sharing my worksheets / notes, here's another one I did years ago, when I was more free to do such things.
This one is the physics checklist for O'lvls. I included all the things that you need to know about physics pure syllabus. This is a bit old, so parts of 23 (those logic gates) and the entire chapters for 24 and 25 are out of syllabus.
How to use this checklist?1. First, read the checklist
2. Read the textbooks/notes, paying close attention to those that are listed in the checklist
3. After finishing one chapter, read the checklist and ask yourself if you can answer those checklist. You really need to know those stuff in the checklist.
4. If there are some knowledge gaps, go and read up those specific parts again.
5. Repeat 2 to 4 until you know all the stuff then move on to the next chapter and repeat.
I typed out some worksheets on quadratic equation problem sums from an old assessment book that I bought years ago. It's those problems sums where you have to form your own equation, and then solve the equation in terms of x. My student had some problems forming the equations (which is basically the hardest part of the problem - solving them is easily done), hence I set this up to help her.
Here's the link for those interested.
Yesterday, my students got their mother tongue (MT) results. Most didn't do very well, and I wonder why. Are we no longer focused on MT? I guess I'm slightly different, as I speak MT at home, rather than English, hence English is more acquired for me than my second language.
I pity those who had to retake again, it's just a bloody waste of time. I can imagine how painful it is. Though last time in my O'lvls, I managed to do it in one trial (A2 - dun play a fool with me), I did tried two times in my A'lvl. That took up a lot of time and I could have spent it on better things.
Come to think of it, not a lot of my students can make it in MT. I can only vaguely remember a handful (less than 10) whose MT is as good as their English. Most are just passing standard only. So much to say about Singapore's bilingual system - it seems that it made that effectively single language only.
