Getting Physical
Published 05/06/25The Junior Physics Challenge competition aims to engage and challenge students of all abilities by providing them with a variety of problems to solve.
Before the half-term break, Mr. Thanikasalam nominated 14 Year 10 students to participate in an online competition, which consisted of two 25-minute tests, each containing 30 questions. The questions covered a range of topics, including Dynamics, Electricity, Optics, Heat, Units, a small amount of Astronomy, and Waves. Some questions required a process of elimination, some relied on general knowledge rather than classroom physics, and others were based directly on the school curriculum. It is important to note that this was a quiz, not an exam.
While most questions are aligned with the current GCSE curriculum, students can earn additional marks by demonstrating general knowledge in physics and showing a keen interest in practical work during lessons. The primary goal is to ensure that students enjoy their participation and are encouraged to explore physics further.
All participating students achieved bronze level, with special congratulations to Mateusz and Devan for attaining gold (over 70%), and to Jenovia, Aloysia, and Veer for achieving silver.
