THE PHYSICS GROVE

The Physics Grove is happy to introduce a whole new immersive learning adventure: Virtual Practicals! 

Click the link below, choose to view your chosen practical in the YouTube App on your smartphone, and be right there in the Physics laboratory with us! Use a VR viewer like Google Cardboard for the best experience!

​

There are ten GCE 'O' Level science (physics) practicals available at the moment. We hope to bring you more content very soon!

Arica Lim graduated from Hillgrove Secondary School in 2016, and is currently pursuing a Diploma in Mass Communications at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. At the 'O' level examinations, she scored an A1 in combined science (physics/chemistry), and achieved an L1R4 of 10 points. 

​

Upon request, she has kindly shared with us her experiences on how she successfully studied for physics. Please click below to read the article!

The Physics Grove would like to welcome our newest contributor, Ms. Wong the Adventurer! This intrepid, plucky teacher enjoys two things: 1) travelling the world and 2) using her experiences to teach her students physics.

​

In this first episode, our adventurous Ms. Wong teaches us conservation of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy from the picturesque ski slopes of Austria!

Dear all MOE Teachers, there are still some slots left for our Teacher-Led Workshop at the Academy of Singapore Teachers (AST)! Date of the workshop is 29th March 2018, from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. Please sign up if you are keen! Use TRAISI code 41277. Registration via TRAISI is open until Thursday, 15 March 2018.

Who doesn't love dragging blocks around and measuring their acceleration? Possible a great number of people, but they don't know what they are missing! Watch our video and try it out at our newest 'NEWLY FEATURED' page!

The amazing movie Baahubali 2 allows us a unique opportunity to solve a kinematics projectile question! What is the (cinematic) elastic propellant force of a palm tree trunk? Watch to find out at our new 'NEWLY FEATURED' page!

Birds sit on tree branches, where they do their business as and when they feel like it. We made a physics kinematics question about it. Enjoy! Linked at our 'NEWLY FEATURED' section!

EP from HGV demonstrates Refraction and Total Internal Reflection in class using a light ray box and a glass block! Attempt the Google Quiz after watching to check your understanding!

With the help of Aniq and Jovan, we use a motion tracker software to plot distance-time, speed-time and acceleration-time graphs! Please try the accompanying worksheet as well!

Wenfei and Sarfiyan use only the principles of moments to  measure the weight of their phones!

Crystal and Trumann use only the principles of moments to  measure the weight of their phones!

Our Forum has been re-enabled for the new school term. Have fun!

We use a motion tracker to electronically track the movement of a pendulum, and get some nice graphs. Record down the data as instructed in the video, and use it to answer the paired Google Quiz Activity!

Thank you once again to contributor E.P. for your great work! Google Quizzes for Part 1, 2, 4 and 5 of Chapter 10 - Light are ready!

Thanks to contributor E.P. for working so hard on this! Enjoy the quizzes!

Many thanks to contributor D.C. for producing our Chapter 4 - MWD quizzes, which can be found on the Video Syllabus page!

Ever wonder how a fuse melts and breaks the connection in a circuit? Watch our demonstration video now!

Our answer to the Raft Physics question recently asked in our forum, where in the video game Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the hero seems to accelerate a raft in a physics-defying way. Enjoy!

We've reopened our Quizizz / Kahoot Links Page! It is welcome news that Kahoot! and Quizizz games can now be hosted by mobile devices like handphones. Thanks, Quizizz and Kahoot development teams!

Our links to the PhET Java Applets have been reorganised and are back up! They are now linked by the relevant chapter, so you'll never need to hunt for what you need again :D

Hi all, in response to feedback, we have introduced a forum page where you can ask questions, post interesting articles, and hold discussions! 

The Google Quizzes for Chapter 16 DC Circuits are ready! Try your skills on these new questions!

The Google Quizzes for Chapter 11 can now be accessed from the IS11 Interactive Syllabus! Enjoy!

All Google Quizzes for Chapter 5 (Turning Effects of Forces) are ready and can be accessed via the Interactive Syllabus!

So, we have completed the Google Quizzes on parts 5, 6 and 7 for chapter 2: Kinematics! Enjoy!

Dear students, we have completed the Interactive Syllabus for Chapter 1 (Units and Measurements). Please go ahead and have fun self-testing with the Playposits and the Google Quizzes!
