One of 12 GCSE Physics Practice Papers - ideal for students aiming for grade 7-9. All with written worked solutions and a video explaining the answers. Good luck to the May/June 2024 candidates.

Its Pi Day

What is exactly is pi?

Its the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle.
What ever the circle's size, this ratio will always equal pi.

In decimal notation, the value of pi is approximately 3.14.

3.14 in the mirror is also pi.

Interesting!

The sun is too small to become a black hole. It would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole. Even if the sun somehow gained enough mass, it would still lose most of it during the red giant phase, leaving behind a white dwarf.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the sun will ever turn into a black hole. To make the sun into a black hole, one would have to somehow compress its core to a radius of about 3 km, which is the Schwarzschild radius for an object with the sun’s mass. This would require an enormous amount of energy and force, far beyond any natural or artificial means known to us.

The grading system in Korea 🤯

I don’t know which teacher needs to hear this, but you can’t give a kid a mark just because they made a lot of effort and almost got it right- pity marks are not a thing. They got it wrong. Accept it.

GRADE 9 PLACEMENT IN SENIOR SCHOOL.

Latest recommendations has put forth several changes in the CBC curriculum framework:
1. Current grade 8 to attend grade 9 in Senior Secondary after sitting for National Junior Level placement Assessment in Nov this year.
Categorization of schools to remain as national schools, extra county schools, county and Subcounty schools.

2. In 2026 grade 8 to be placed in Senior secondary school leaving Only behind grade 7 in primary whose curriculum content is to be revised for level suitability with practical content of integrated Science pushed ahead to grade 8 and 9 placed in senior schools.

3. Grade 7 to be handled by primary school teachers.
KPSEA to be done at grade 7 and supervised solely by the school heads with selected staff under KNEC guidelines.

4. Junior school teachers to be deployed to senior schools hosting junior learners to handle grade 8 and 9.

MERITS OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Ease burden of shortage of science equipment and facilities facing primary schools.
2. Proper utilisation and management of human resources and physical resources both in primary and senior schools.
3. Counter the ongoing Trade Unions rivalry and seniority complex division prevailing in education sectors.
4. For Social and cultural stability and level transnational acceptance and preparedness.
The System therefore is revised as follows:

2---7---2---3---3

2--pre-primary school
7-- primary school
2-- junior school
3-- senior school
3-- Tertiary school

Science teachers. This summarises succinctly the advantages of teaching mostly within your own discipline of Biology, Chemistry or Physics.

Robert Oppenheimer was a child prodigy who learned six languages by the time he was 12, including Sanskrit, French, German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He also gave a lecture on geology to a group of adult mineralogists when he was 12.

What is the reading from the vernier caliper?

Science teachers, I just stumbled upon these eye-catching careers posters 🙂

Teaching your 14–16 learners about the Haber process and ammonia production? You need this story and the questions too.

Prove you can actually do hard things!

When a teenager asks why they need to learn calculus, what should you say?

You know they will never use it in adulthood, outside of certain career choices.

You could say, “It’ll help you get into college,” but then they’re left wondering why college cares if you know calculus.

And once they’re in college, maybe you could say, “To get a good job,” but why would a potential hirer care how you did in multivariate calculus if your job doesn’t require any knowledge of calculus?

But I recently realized there is a very good reason to take Calculus. It’s to prove you can do hard things.

The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume.

Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.

If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant.

If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze.

But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable.

We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations.

The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself.

My goal with our kids is to avoid lying to them as much as possible.

I won’t tell them that calculus is super important or even that grades are super important. The truth is, they aren’t, so long as you have other plans.

Calculus is a great way to prove you can do hard things if you have no other proof to show.

But if you’re learning programming and building apps in your free time, or winning soccer championships, or writing a novel, then you are doing hard things. Probably harder than Calculus.

This is also why there’s so much survivorship bias and bad advice in the “C students hire A students” trope. Most C students are not doing other hard things instead of school. They’re just goofing off, so they end up working for the A student.

But some C students are getting C’s because they’re obsessed with other projects. Hard projects. And that obsession with doing hard things lets them blow past their Excellent Sheep peers over time.

So if you have a C student who’s obsessed with something hard, you probably don’t have to worry. If they’re getting high and watching TikTok, well…

I don’t particularly care what grades my kids get once they start school. But I do care that they consistently prove to themselves they can do hard things. If Calculus is how they want to do it, fine, but there are many, many more options.

And if you’re not someone who knows they can do hard things, find a way to prove it to yourself.

Build a habit, learn a skill, create something, whatever it is that turns your default stance on challenges from “that seems hard” to “I can figure it out.”

Create proof you can do hard things.

🚨 Are you a parent of a student taking their IGCSE exam in 2024? 🚨

🎓 Want to help your child get an A* for chemistry and biology on their IGCSE?
If your child experiences any of the following problems...

❌ Frustrated of not understanding chemistry and biology.
❌ Tired of memorizing and working hard to yet not earn that A or A*
❌ Struggle to work on exercises like the ones with reactions, moles, and stoichiometry.
❌ Frustrated that don’t know how to APPLY their knowledge to exercises and exam questions
❌ Stressed out about the mocks and the upcoming IGCSE exam.

Then I have something for you! 🙏🏽

My name is Tr Jen Mbati

Over the last over 10 years I have taught in the classroom and tutored both chemistry and biology.

At Tutors in Kenya I specialize in helping students go from struggling to earning top grades in chemistry and biology.

Right now I have an opportunity for ambitious IGCSE students to come and work with me in my BIOCHEM ACCELERATOR Program that helps students who want a clear path to earn an A/A* in IGCSE as they finally get to....

✔ Fully understand chemistry/biology and no longer rely on memorization
✔ Level up their exercising skills so they work correctly even the most difficult exam questions
✔ Build the right mindset and learning skills for chemistry/biology so they can work less and earn better grades
✔ Master revision and exam skills so they become confident and able to earn top grades on the mocks and on the IGCSE exam

And much, much more…

So that they can move forward in school confident, able to ace exams and excel in their education 🎓

Because we only get ONE SHOT at our education so let’s make each step count for our children.

Too many students will start too late and will miss out on the grades they were capable of, and this is going to affect the rest of their lives.

If you are ready to give your child the help they need on time so they can become confident and prepared well ahead of time and aim for a top grade for their IGCSE Chemistry/biology Mocks and Exam.
