A LEVEL PHYSICS OCR A LAB BOOK PAG 1.2

A comprehensive, student-friendly practical laboratory booklets designed for OCR A Level Physics A (H556). These resources support students in developing essential experimental skills while providing opportunities to gather evidence towards the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC).

PAG 1.2 – Investigating Terminal Velocity

Students investigate the terminal velocity of a ball bearing falling through a viscous liquid, developing skills in taking measurements, calculating velocity, plotting graphs and evaluating uncertainties.
Both editable lab booklets include:

Practical objectives, equipment lists and clear step-by-step methods.

CPAC assessment checklists with student and teacher sign-off.

Student risk assessment tables.

Structured results tables to scaffold practical recording skills.

Fine graph paper for plotting experimental data.

Calculations, analysis and evaluation tasks.

OCR-style exam practice questions and challenging extension activities.

Space for conclusions, reflections and teacher feedback.

Ideal for Year 12 A Level Physics students, these ready-to-print booklets encourage accurate scientific recording, develop practical independence and support preparation for OCR written examinations and the Practical Endorsement.

Designed using OCR PAG student and teacher guidance. These are independently created teaching resources, not official OCR publications.
