Key Stage 3 Tutoring
Physics in Key Stage 3 covers topics such as energy changes and transfer, motion and forces, waves, and electricity. As Year 7, Year 8, and Year 9 progress, the material gets more challenging, and students are expected to manage larger workload. This can be overwhelming when it comes to Physics, but with the support of a good Physics tutor experienced with the Key Stage 3 curriculum, your child can stay on top of their work, perform well on tests, and gain confidence at school.
Exploring energy with Physics Key Stage 3 tutors
Across Key Stage 3, students will learn how energy works – from comparing the energy that comes from the sockets at home and school, to where that energy ultimately comes from in the earth. Students will also be introduced to energy as a quantity that can be measured and calculated, and tracking energy through different events and systems changes, such as heating an object or propelling an object across the room. While the concepts are simple, the underlying physics can take some time for students to get their heads around, and there isn’t always time in a classroom full of students to ask their questions. However, with a Physics tutor on hand, your child can work through the concepts at their own speed, and ask as many questions as they like.
What does motion mean and more, explained by Physics Key Stage 3 tutors
Students are introduced to the scientific definitions of speed, distance and time, and how scientists use them in formulae. They break down movements like turning a corner or the motion of a spring, into all the forces acting on the object throughout the movement, and learn what factors affect changes in motion. With the introduction of formulae, and elements like Hooke’s Law, some students will struggle with applying scientific language to everyday motion. Good thing Physics tutors are adept at working with different learning styles, and can try different approaches until they find what clicks for your child.
Go to space with Physics Key Stage 3 tutors
In Key Stage 3, students are introduced to space physics, which is both fascinating and complex. They will investigate how gravity works, the Earth’s gravitational field, and how it differs on other planets and stars. Students will also discuss the light year as an astronomical unit of measurement, how it was developed and how it is calculated. While some students find this topic fascinating, others might struggle with the math involved and the intangible nature of the calculations involved. A good Physics tutor can bring these concepts back down to earth and help every student make the right connections.
