starting physics unit 2 without unit 1

[g2gsofast]

Hi everyone, I just wanted some advice on year 11 physics. I'm starting unit 2 physics without doing unit 1, and I'm really nervous as I know everyone else in my class probably has a sounder knowledge in physics than me. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips and tricks as to how I can stay on top of the workload and not be disadvantaged due to my lack of exposure to the class work and content (what topics should I try to teach myself over the holidays). I have recently started a physics tutor who seems really great and understands the situation I am in, and I have requested my school to set up an edrolo account for me so I can catch up on the content. I am just really really really nervous about starting physics, and some advice from you guys would be seriously appreciated
- THANKKK YOUUUU

I don't recon it would be to hard...
There aren't a lot of concepts that I can see will carry through to Unit 2.
For our school, Unit 1 was all just the Thermodynamics, Electricity, and a little touch on decay out of Nuclear Physics.
Dunno whether your school is same or different... My school is generally unique

The attached study design might help if you haven't checked it out already...
It's basically all motion, with the other optional areas of study.

Good Luck!

Sorry,
It wouldn't attach 4 some reason...

Hey thanks!!
I'll brush up on Thermodynamics, Electricity and Nuclear Physics before unit 2
It's just a very daunting subject, and I'm really worried that I won't be able to catch up. But thank you!!!!!!

I'm sure it'll be a breeze matey!

I definitely agree with you mate. We did the same thing in Unit 1, and Unit 2 is largely Motion, very little related to the Unit 1 topics. It is largely maths, so if you are good at/enjoy maths, it's certainly a good idea for you. You'll be fine. Enjoy it mate!

Youll be fine. Some people I know of are skipping unit 1 (and the school is finr woth that) and starting at unit 2 so they can explore other electives.
