Intermediate Physics Challenge (Y11) IPC Online
It consists of two 30 minute sets of multiple choice questions which are largely about physics ideas, but also encouraging some wider reading and interest in the subject. It is an opportunity for students to take part in a national physics competition and to develop their confidence in the subject. It is definitely a quiz for participation, which is accessible to sound students but is not an ''Olympiad Challenge''. Length - 2 x 30 minutes sections(can be sat on different days if required) with each section containing 20 questions. Sat within your school supervised by the teacher. It may not be sat by students at home.
