g.	recall and use the relationship A = Z + N
h.	use the standard notation for representing a nuclide
i.	explain what is meant by the term ‘isotope’


3.	Emmission from the Nucleus

a.	describe Marie Curie’s work in the field of radioactivity
b.	recall that the decay process is independent of conditions outside the nucleus
c.	discuss the need for safety measures in handling and using radio-isotopes
d.	describe how a cloud chamber works
e.	describe how a Geiger–Muller tube works

g.	describe experiments to compare the ranges of alpha, beta and gamma emissions in various media
h.	predict the effects of magnetic and electric fields on the motion of alpha and beta particles and gamma rays
i.	describe the appearance of the tracks of radioactive emissions in a cloud chamber
j.	associate radioactivity with nuclear instability
k.	represent and interpret nuclear reactions of the form
l.	discuss the uses and dangers associated with emissions from the nucleus

4.	Half Life

a.	describe an experiment from which a radioactive decay curve can be obtained
b.	define the term ‘half-life’
c.	perform analogue experiments to illustrate random ‘decay’ processes
d.	use graphs of random decay to show that such processes have a constant half-life
e.	work through simple problems on half-life
f.	discuss the useful applications of radio-isotopes

5.	Energy from the Nucleus


a.	associate the release of energy in a nuclear reaction with a change in mass
b.	work out problems using Einstein’s equation E = mc2
c.	relate the processes of fi ssion and fusion to E = mc2
d.	describe the main features of a nuclear power plant and the significance of critical mass
e.	discuss problems associated with the operation of a nuclear power plant
f.	discuss problems posed by radioactive waste
g.	advance arguments for and against the utilisation of nuclear energy

None.

宿題が提供されます
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.
授業以外に週あたり 2 - 4 時間の学習が期待されます

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.

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.
