Updates & Reflections on my Learn Ahead Programme (LAP) – A. Math & Physics
These are what I covered this week:
S4 A. Math: We started on Differentiation – Idea of limits and the derivative, dy/dx, power rule. Students find it interesting that we can determine the gradient at a point on a curve without drawing a tangent.
S4 Physics: We started on Static Electricity – the idea of charge, the coulomb, insulators, conductors, charging by friction, charging by induction, charging by contact, earthing, electric fields, applications of electrostatics. Unfortunately textbooks, don’t cover much about what happens when a charged insulator touches another insulator, when an insulator touches a conductor (either is charged), and when a conductor touches another conductor (either or both initially charged).
S3 A.Math: We revised the beginnings of Logarithms a bit as a new student has just joined. Conversion of index form to log form and vice versa, base e and base 10.
S3 Physics: We revised Kinematics because of a new student – distance vs displacement, speed vs velocity, deceleration vs negative acceleration, scalars and vectors, kinematics formulae.

Compliment from a secondary school Physics teacher ….
Below is an email (with names removed) I received from a Physics teacher on Nov 14, regarding my post IMPORTANT TOPICS FOR O-LEVEL PHYSICS (5058) PAPER 2 2013.
————————————————————————————————————–
Hi Ilyasa,
I am <teacher’s name>,
<Student’s name>’s physics teacher.
He has attended yr physics crash course in oct.
I have compiled a list of qns based on yr predictions for 2013 paper 2.
I am impressed by the accuracy of yr predictions and would like to ask you If there are any methods u have used to reach such accuracy besides doing the elimination method.
I can be contacted at <hp no.>.

SEC 3 PHYSICS CONSOLIDATION WORKSHOPS 14 NOV – 16 NOV
Consolidation workshops are for students who have performed poorly in their SA2 exams or in certain topics in their exams. These classes are intended for students to “consolidate” what they have learnt and re-learn if necessary. Such students are encouraged to attend these lessons before attending Headstart lessons.
(1) Kinematics & Forces: Thursday, 14 Nov, 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm; Code: S3PC1.
(2) Moments, Energy & Pressure: Friday, 15 Nov, 9 am – 12 pm; Code: S3PC2.
(3) Heat Capacity & Latent Heat: Friday, 15 Nov, 3 pm – 6 pm; Code: S3PC3
(4) Waves & Light: Saturday, 16 Nov, 9.30 am – 12.30 pm; Code: S3PC4.

Fee: $50 only.
Tutor: Mr Ilyasa (M.Ed, PGDE, B.Sc. Ex-Subject Head of Physics)
Note: Science (Physics) students may also attend and do 500 MCQs. Since 500 to 700 MCQs cannot be completed in 3 hrs, you may also attend two sessions and pay $90.
Sec 3 Physics students may also attend one of these sessions to revise their Physics as half of these MCQs are testing Sec 3 Physics topics.
FOR REGISTRATION, SMS <STUDENT NAME> <PMCQ> <DATE><TIME> TO 97860411.
Change in Start Date of Lower Secondary Headstart Programmes to 18 Nov onwards
Dear interested Parents / Students,
I have to postpone the start date of the Secondary Headstart classes to 18 Nov onwards as there is a surge in demand for O-Level, A-Level and IB Math and Physics classes for the next two weeks and we need to free up more lesson slots.
However, from 5 Nov to 15 Nov I have planned a series of Secondary Consolidation classes for students who have performed poorly in this year’s SA2 exams. Students who are weak in Math and Physics should attend these Consolidation classes before attending my Headstart classes. Consolidation classes will focus on THIS YEAR’s topics while Headstart classes are meant for NEXT YEAR’s topics.
Rgds,
Ilyasa
