Reposting this link to our TY Resources page with a few updates.... TY Physics | PhysicsResourceBank One new addition relates to the AAC, with a list of project ideas from the old Coursework B. For those of you to whom that means nothing - it was required coursework for Junior Cycle students, with three titles published each year, from which students would select two. On those, they then had to design and complete an experiment and compile a report. I know it has been used by a few teachers...

I was fascinated to discover yesterday that, whereas the UK will be switching to Daylight Savings Time at 1.00 am tonight - going one hour ahead of GMT, Ireland won't be! Instead, we'll simply revert to Irish Standard time (which - perhaps not entirely coincidentally - is also designed to run one hour ahead of GMT). Kudos to the Grand Auld Stretch on Blue Sky for educating me on this: Post by @ theauldsthretch.bsky.social — Bluesky Apparently, it was the Germany who first introduced...

For some of us getting used to the idea of coursework for Leaving Cert Physics students, its brought back memories of coursework for JC students. From (I think) 2004 to 2018, students got 35% for practical work, which was split up between Coursework A (10% on Mandatory experiments) and Coursework B. For Coursework B, the department would publish a list of three investigation titles each yea r (one from each of physics, biology and chemistry), and students had to complete two of them. They...
