Physics Competition Training Team

 

Objectives

Physics Olympiad Training Team provides F.2 to F.4 students with talent in Physics full support in terms of learning materials, exercises, and online resources to learn about Mechanics up to the university level, preparing them to participate in the Hong Kong Physics Olympiad (HKPhyO), a territory-wide competition organised by the Hong Kong Physics Society, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education.  

The objectives are:

  1. to allow students talented in Physics to enjoy Physics learning with enriched and extended learning opportunities;
  2. to enhance their problem-solving skills and communication skills; and
  3. to build an effective learning community in Physics focusing on interaction and cooperation.

Contents

Courses are held from October to May. There are around 25 lessons in total and each lesson lasts for 3 hours. Contents include Kinematics, Force and Motion, Work and Power, Momentum and Impulse, Torque, Law of Universal Gravitation, Uniform Circular Motion of Planets and Satellites, and Simple Harmonic Motion (s.h.m.).  For further details, please refer to the homepage of HKAGE.

Features

  • Problem-solving skills are highly emphasised.
  • Mathematical tools like Trigonometry, Vector Analysis, Calculus and Taylor Series are integrated into describing the physical system and tackling problems in physics.
  • Cooperative learning and flip-the-classroom strategies are adopted.
  • Students with excellent performance in HKPhyO will be nominated to participate in advanced physics learning at universities, preparing themselves for worldwide physics competitions like the Pan-Pearl River Delta and Chinese Elite Schools, the Asian Physics Olympiad and the International Physics Olympiad.
