Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding comprehensive physics resources suitable for International Baccalaureate (IB) students. Participants share links to websites and express their experiences and challenges related to studying physics within the IB program.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks comprehensive physics resources after a previously used site appears to be shut down.
  • Another participant provides a link to a different physics resource website.
  • A participant suggests that the original site may not be shut down but has changed its port, offering an alternative link.
  • Several participants discuss their experiences with the IB physics curriculum, expressing varying levels of difficulty and personal challenges.
  • One participant mentions the potential difficulty of taking higher-level physics without also taking higher-level mathematics.
  • Participants share their geographical locations and how it relates to their IB studies, with one expressing curiosity about the curriculum differences in American public schools.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing opinions on the difficulty of IB physics and the resources available, with no consensus on the best resource or the overall challenge of the curriculum.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of clarity on the specific content covered in the IB physics curriculum compared to other educational systems, as well as the uncertainty regarding the status of the previously mentioned website.

Who May Find This Useful

IB students seeking resources for physics, educators looking for supplementary materials, and individuals interested in the challenges of the IB curriculum.

Hello all.

Does anyone know any good sites which outline physics principals and equations? I used to use www.physics.uq.edu.au:8001/ph128/contents.html,[/URL] but it seems that it has been shut down. I really liked the site, since it was comprehensive, and had a huge amount of information, from middle school to college.

IB

Debaser,
I'm in the IB program too and taking physics; where do you live (country or state). Is IB physics really hard (I'm starting as a junior tomorrow). Thanks!
 
haha there's no way I'm taking physics at higher, my teacher is deluded however and keeps telling me i will, check out

these people can help, a solution to every problem
 
"IBscrewed" i love the name! I am in pre IB at the moment and will be taking physics high level (if my school offers it. my science teachers say they will being offering it by the time i can take it *crosses fingers*). I live in Colorado.

Thanks *so* much for finding that for me hbar!

Im finding physics at a higher level challenging, especially since I am not taking IB higher mathematics (which is probably one of the hardest high school classes there is.)

I live in Hong Kong, and I decided to take the IB program after graduating from the GCSE program (grades 9-10), so technically and legally I would not have to go to school anymore if I was in the USA, which is 2 years earlier than in an american public school.

Im not sure what material is studied in the first 2 years of high school in american public schools, but the higher physics course is designed to be challenging, which it should be.
