These classes will take three (3) sessions to complete. It will deal with the following:-
1.	Class 1 - Physical Quantities & Units
2.	Class 2 & 3 - Precision, Accuracy & Significance
3.	Class 3 & 4 - Acquiring Experimental Skills

1.	Physical Quantities & Units

a.	explain what is meant by a ‘quantity’ in physics
b.	state the five fundamental quantities recognised and used in physics
c.	explain the need for units when dealing with physical quantities
d.	state how the base units used in this course are defined
e.	explain what is meant by derived quantities and obtain their units in terms of base units
f.	recall and use the symbols for base units and derived units
g.	use multiples and sub-multiples of units
h.	do calculations using these multiple and sub-multiple units
i.	put any number into standard form

2.	Precision, Accuracy & Significance

a.	distinguish between precision and accuracy
b.	state what is meant by precision and by the degree of precision of a measuring instrument
c.	state what is meant by the uncertainty or error of a reading
d.	explain how to determine the degree of precision of measuring instruments commonly found in the laboratory, both analogue and digital
e.	understand what is meant by the term ‘significant figures’
f.	determine the degree of significance of a recorded reading
g.	express the result of an experiment with the correct degree of significance and the result of a numerical problem to a justifiable number of significant figures
h.	explain what is meant by a mean and apply this concept

3.	Acquiring Experimental Skills

a.	understand the nature of parallax errors and systematic errors, and how to reduce their effects
b.	understand the nature of the skills you will develop by doing practical work
c.	plan, design, carry out, record readings and compile reports on practical activities
d.	understand the skills associated with:
I.	observation, recording and reporting (O/R/R)
II.	measurement and manipulation (M/M)
III.	planning and designing (P/D)
IV.	analysis and interpretation (A/I)

None

Homework Offered
In order for each student to determine their own level of understanding of the High School Physics I will provide free of charge and outside of the sixty (60) minutes class questions to be answered. This of course is optional and solely based on the individual student. I would urge ALL students to answer as many questions as possible so that they would know where they need to improve, but it is optional.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Every class will have questions to be answered outside of the sixty (60) minutes class. This questions and answers will be done free of charge, as it will not be part of the sixty (60) minutes class.
Grades Offered

During the course of seventeen (17) years I have compiled a complete High School Physics tutorial that I have assembled from various text books to keep up with the changing syllabus, as well as to cater for the various learning levels of every student that I have taught. I have tutored to students that were getting Fs and Ds elevated them to Bs and As.
