These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Distinguish between the energy in the kinetic store of an object and the object’s speed.
• Describe how mass and speed affect the amount of energy in the kinetic store of the object...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that as a sound wave travels forward, the medium it travels through does not.
• Describe the movement of each ‘particle’ of a longitudinal (sound) wave as the wave moves...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that as a transverse wave travels forward, the medium through which it travels does not.
• Describe the movement of each ‘particle’ of a transverse wave as the wave moves...

Produced in 2011, this report describes the context and parameters of Ofqual’s research into the assessments taken by learners at senior secondary level in a number of key comparator jurisdictions and outlines the progress made up to February 2011.

The purpose of this research is to make comparative...
