About the Physics question bank
Physics questions that start with things a child has already noticed - that dropped objects fall, that magnets pick up some metals and not others - and build toward the formulas that describe them. The early band assumes no vocabulary at all.
What the questions cover
- Std 1-4
- Gravity, magnets, states of matter, sources of light and how sound is made
- Std 5-7
- SI units, mirrors and lenses, the speed of sound, and simple circuits
- Std 8-12
- Newton's laws, Ohm's law, acceleration due to gravity and the speed of light

Using it in class
The unit questions in the middle band are worth revisiting regularly. Students who cannot name the SI unit of force will struggle with every calculation that follows.
