IB Physics HL & SL
IB Physics Tutoring for HL and SL Diploma Students
IB Physics is assessed on reasoning and data handling as much as content. We teach the syllabus alongside the command terms and uncertainty work that Papers 1 to 3 actually reward.
Grades 11-12 (DP1-DP2)
How we teach IB Diploma Physics
Command terms decoded
'Outline', 'explain', 'discuss' and 'evaluate' each expect a different answer shape, and that is taught explicitly.
Data-based questions
Graph interpretation, gradient meaning and uncertainty propagation practised on real past-paper data sets.
IA design support
Help scoping a measurable research question with a workable variable range, before hours are spent collecting unusable data.
HL and SL taught apart
HL extension content is taught to HL depth rather than as an add-on to SL sessions.
Topics we cover
- Space, time and motion
- The particulate nature of matter
- Wave behaviour
- Fields and circular motion
- Nuclear and quantum physics
- Energy transfers and climate
- HL extension topics
- Internal Assessment investigation
- Uncertainty and data analysis
