New H2 Physics science laboratory from 2026 onwards<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

New H2 Physics Syllabus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The latest syllabus for H2 Physics effective from 2026 for physics students are as enclosed.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.seab.gov.sg\/files\/A%20Level%20Syllabus%20Sch%20Cddts\/2026\/9478_y26_sy.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

2 key new topics are introduced as part of the new syllabus for JC physics students, physics learners, and physics tuition students: Capacitance and Wavefunctions.<\/p>\n

Use of Spreadsheet instead of manual graph plotting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aside to that, there is a new requirement for the use of spreadsheet (excel) for GCE physics practical assessment. Candidates should import data files (in csv format) into the spreadsheet for subsequent processing and input data obtained from an experiment for subsequent processing.\u00a0 Physics learners would no longer be required to plot graph manually on graph paper.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below are the spreadsheet skills required to be picked up by the physics GCE students:<\/p>\n

(a)\u00a0\u00a0 perform mathematical operations as stipulated in the Mathematical Requirements including sines, cosines, tangents (and the inverse functions) on angles in radians (converting from degrees as necessary), exponentials and logarithms (lg and ln), and use of scientific notation (e.g. 3.00\u2009E\u2009+\u200914).<\/p>\n

(b)\u00a0\u00a0 use features for numerical data manipulation<\/p>\n

(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 use and input formulae and duplicate formulae across cells<\/p>\n

(ii)\u00a0\u00a0 adjust formatting (e.g. data type) and duplicate formatting across cells<\/p>\n

(c)\u00a0\u00a0 plot a labelled line graph using selected data from a table<\/p>\n

(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 adjust the scale of both axes (ii) use selected data points to give a line of best fit (using built-in functions to add a linear trendline) (iii)\u00a0 display the equation of a trendline<\/p>\n

(iv)\u00a0 determine the area under a curve (e.g. summation of rectangular or trapezoidal areas)<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9heS8lLLVEQ<\/a>
\n(v)\u00a0\u00a0 determine the gradient at a point on a curve (e.g. calculating dy\/dx in a small interval near the point)

Sample Physics laboratory examination science practical assessment paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a new syllabus being introduced, a sample GCE A level H2 physics laboratory examination paper for JC tuition students or private candidates or students taking physics tuition classes are given below.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.seab.gov.sg\/files\/A%20Level%20Syllabus%20Sch%20Cddts\/2026\/9478_y26_sp_4.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

In the sample physics practical paper, the following questions are asked:<\/p>\n

Question 1 – Principle of moment<\/strong><\/p>\n

H2 Physics Sample Paper Q1 Experimental Data<\/a><\/p>\n

Question 2 – Capacitance (not in the current H2 Physics 2025 GCE A level syllabus)<\/strong><\/p>\n

H2 Physics Sample Paper Q2 Experimental Data<\/a><\/p>\n

H2 Physics Sample Paper Q2b CSV File<\/a><\/p>\n

Question 3 – Oscillation of Pendulums (resonance and forced oscillation)<\/strong><\/p>\n

H2 Physics Sample Paper Q3 Experimental Data<\/a><\/p>\n
