A 60 question multiple choice test which can be done securely for remote teaching. Covers mechanics, electricity, waves, materials, particles and quantum. The test is conducted through Socrative. Advice on a number of crafty security measures to avoid cheating is included. The questions are selected for the AQA syllabus and aren’t in the public domain (as of June 2020). The test could be used with other syllabuses with only small modifications. Included are a set of worked answers on a pdf so students can work through tricky questions in their post-test review.

My students often have the cards in front of them throughout the topic. Added rules for annihilation when a particle and antiparticle meet. Graphics used by permission by www.particlezoo.net
