Physics Practical Scheme of Work: for use with the IB Diploma Programme: First Assessment 2016
Physics for use with the IB Diploma Programme is a complete and concise
learning resource for both students and teachers alike.
Written in plain English with an international audience in mind – many
of whom are known to be second language English learners – it follows
the IB Physics syllabus (for first assessment in 2016) in a linear and
sequential manner.
By the same author, a laboratory manual for the Internal Assessment
(IA) aspect of the IB Physics course is also available.
Containing over 50 lab guides, all written in accordance with the
latest requirements of the IB Practical Scheme of Work it is an
invaluable resource for IB Physics teachers.
This topic booklet forms part of a series of booklets, designed to
allow for a modular approach to the teaching of the IB Physics course.
The booklets in this series include:
Topic 1: Measurements & Uncertainties
Topic 2: Mechanics
Topic 3: Thermal physics
Topic 4: Waves
Topic 5: Electricity and Magnetism
Topic 6: Circular Motion and Gravitation
Topic 7: Atomic, Nuclear and Particle Physics
Topic 8: Energy Production
Topic 9: Wave Phenomena
Topic 10: Fields
Topic 11: Electromagnetic Induction
Topic 12: Quantum and Nuclear Physic
Option A: Relativity
Option B: Engineering Physics
Option C: Imaging
Option D: Astrophysics
Each topic booklet contains:
- Comprehensive explanations of each concept. Detailed
illustrations to support the explanation - Identification of syllabus statements, formulae, definitions and
problems to enable easy navigation. - Numerous problems (including worked solutions), many of which
have been taken from past IB examination papers. - Suggested links to the relevant pages in the Practical Scheme of
Work. - Prompts to promote discussion on Theory of Knowledge (TOK),
Nature of Science (NOS) and International Mindedness
