Note:
The above is based on my analysis of the Science (Physics) Paper 2 from 2008 to 2012. In general, Paper 2 topics of the previous year is not repeated in the following year, and topics that have not been tested for several years are more likely to be tested this time round.
Please not that the above are just guidelines and not 100% accurate. The topics that I have de-emphasized for Paper 2 can still be tested in Paper 1.
Note: If you need an intensive drill session for physics MCQs, you may attend my workshop: O-LEVEL 2013 PHYSICS MCQ INTENSIVE DRILL SESSION (700+ MCQs) – $50 ONLY (for Science (Physics), the number of MCQs is about 400)

Sec 4 Physics Reflections 03/02/13 – Current Electricity
Today, I asked them a few questions to improve their conceptual understanding of electricity:
(1) What is the difference between e.m.f and potential difference?
(2) What is the difference between resistance and resistivity?
(3) How do you derive the unit for resistivity?
(4) Why does the resistance of a metallic conductor increase when its temperature increases?
(5) Why is the ammeter connected in series to a resistor but the voltmeter is connected in parallel?
Some points to note:
(1) Resistance is NOT the gradient of the V-I graph.
(2) The I-V and V-I graphs of a conductor may be different and you’ll need to understand why and explain the difference.

Teaching Science to kids everyday…
Parents play a key role in getting children interested in Science. Science is a living subject that surrounds us everyday. There’s Science in the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room, in fact, everywhere. The following are some questions that children typically ask, or questions that parents can ask their children, so as to set their minds thinking:
(1) Why do metallic objects feel colder than wooden ones?
(2) Why does ice feel cold?
(3) Why is the air-con unit placed near the ceiling?
(4) Why do we feel cold just after taking a bath?
(5) Why does oil float on water?
(6) Why does ice float on water?
(7) Why do metal ships float on water?
(8) Why does the swimming pool appear shallower than it really is?
(9) How does a pair of spectacles work?
(10) How does a fan work?
(11) Why do we need to breathe air?
(12) Why do oranges and lemons taste sour?
(13) Why do salt and sugar melt faster in warmer water?
(14) What causes the tides in the sea?
(15) Why are we able to see the moon?
(16) Why do moving toys need batteries? What goes on in a dry cell?
(17) Why does food last longer when frozen?
(18) Can a see-saw be balanced when two people are sitting on it? How?
(19) Why does the swing stop after some time?
(20) ……………..
There are many more such questions that parents and children can think of. These questions have both vague, unscientific answers as well as the scientific ones. It is understandable that most parents have forgotten the correct answers to these questions, but this should not deter parents from learning with their children.
It would be a good idea for parents to buy or borrow a basic science encyclopedia to read with their children. Searching for information together on the internet is also a good joint activity between parents and children.
The true nature of Science is learning by thinking and exploring, observing and experimenting, making many errors along the way. It is this spirit of thinking and persistence that gives us many of the useful things that we have today, like electricity and aeroplanes. Teenagers can certainly afford to spend some time thinking about how computers or hand phones work, instead of just using them.
