IB DP Physics end-of-topic test for Topic A.2 Forces and momentum, SL and HL, first assessment 2025: two complete question papers and two full mark schemes. A composite mini-paper mirroring the IB examinations: Paper 1A multiple choice, Paper 1B data analysis, Paper 2 structured questions. SL is 36 marks in 50 minutes, HL is 43 marks in 60 minutes.

What this test is, and what it is not

A checkpoint at the end of the topic: it assesses A.2 and teaches none of it. Every one of the 24 understandings is tested by at least one item. Those are sitting times, not teaching time. SL is the HL paper with the higher-level items stripped out, so a mixed class sits the same questions at two lengths, and every question is fresh-written, so students who worked the A.2 lesson packs meet unseen ones.

How the paper is built

  • Section A: 9 multiple-choice items at SL, 10 at HL, one mark each.
  • Section B: one data-analysis question, 11 marks at both levels.
  • Section C: structured questions with mark allocations, 16 marks at SL and 22 at HL.

What’s included:

  • SL Question Paper - 12 pages
  • SL Mark Scheme - 19 pages
  • HL Question Paper - 13 pages
  • HL Mark Scheme - 20 pages
  • All four papers as one editable browser file

The grade boundaries are a starting point set by YPhysics, not the IB: change them to match your own cohort in the editable HTML, which holds the mark schemes and so is a teacher file.

Every marking point carries its AO tag: AO3 takes 17 of the 36 SL marks and 20 of the 43 HL, against the guide’s 50/50 split. Every multiple-choice item prints its key with a worked explanation of the common errors, and every constructed response is marked from a model answer. Each document is a colour PDF with a printer-friendly B&W twin, in SI units and IB command terms. A print paper: there is no slide deck. Grades 11-12 (ages 16-19).

IB DP Physics (2025) A2 Forces and Momentum Complete Bundle

The complete Topic A.2 Forces and momentum unit for IB DP Physics, SL and HL, first assessment 2025: ten lesson packs, a bench practical, the SL and HL topic test and two vector skill packs, 30% off buying them separately. **What's in the unit** - Ten lesson packs in teaching order: Contact and Field Forces; Free-Body Diagrams and Force Pairs; Resultant Force, Inertia and Newton's First Law; Newton's Second Law: F = ma; Friction: Static and Dynamic; Upthrust, Viscous Drag and Terminal Velocity; Momentum, Impulse and F = Δp/Δt; Collisions and Explosions; Circular Motion I: Angular Velocity and Centripetal Acceleration; and Circular Motion II: Centripetal Force. - A bench practical, Investigating Newton's Second Law: a trolley lab at fixed mass, then at fixed force, as a full pack with its own deck. - The Topic A.2 test: SL and HL question papers with AO-tagged mark schemes, 36 marks in 50 minutes at SL and 43 marks in 60 at HL. - Two vector skill packs: Resolving Vectors, with more than 100 answered practice items, and Adding and Subtracting Vectors, with 35. Together the ten lessons cover all 24 understandings of Topic A.2, from forces as interactions and Hooke's law to Newton's three laws, friction, drag, momentum, collisions and circular motion. The topic test assesses all 24. **Every lesson pack includes:** - An editable student worksheet - A teacher key with every answer and marking point - Worked solutions with every step and its units - A questions-only assessment with IB mark allocations - A choreographed lesson deck with staged reveals Across the ten: 191 student worksheet pages, 304 teacher key pages and 505 slides. **IB skills (mostly Tool 3: Mathematics):** free-body diagrams; drawing, adding and resolving vectors; scale diagrams; direct and inverse proportionality; selecting and manipulating equations; plotting, best-fit lines, gradients, intercepts and linearizing; uncertainty bars and lines of maximum and minimum gradient; means, ranges and propagated uncertainties; and, from Inquiry 1, 2 and 3, designing a method, controlling variables, judging outliers and identifying random and systematic errors. Everything ships as self-contained HTML that opens in any browser with nothing to install, every worksheet editable, plus colour and black-and-white PDF of every document. The test's grade boundaries are set by YPhysics, not the IB, and you can edit them. SI units, IB notation and IB command terms throughout. Suitable for grades 11-12 (ages 16-19) for first teaching, assessment and revision. **Also in the catalogue, sold separately:** - [A.1 Kinematics Complete Unit Bundle, the topic before this one](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13537351) - [Foundations of Motion: Distance and Displacement, a whole lesson pack in this format, free](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13516114) *A rating helps other teachers find this.*
