Physics Test

Physics test will consist of only MCQ questions within the A-level syllabus, so it is a good opportunity to prepare for your upcoming preliminary exams. There could also be some questions within the syllabus that are a bit more challenging than what you usually see.

Lectures

Lecture 1: "So You Think You Know Mechanics?" - Elbert Chia
A pedagogical lecture on A-level physics, where we will go over some interesting questions that may be challenging and counterintuitive.

Lecture 2:

  1. The Physics of Collective Behaviors: from Sand Piles to Bacterial Infections - Han Endao
  2. The Mould Effect – Physics of the Chain Fountain - Koh Teck Seng
  3. Physics <-> Information - Chew Lock Yue

A series of mini-lectures by faculties from NTU physics. They will share about some interesting results from their research and laboratory, and show you why physics is such an interesting and fundamentally important subject.
