On last year’s CAP, the top two students are both from Olympiads School. We hope students treasure this rare opportunity.įrom left to right: Jerry Zheng, Steven Ye, Henry Tang Sometimes solving a problem on paper can get a bit abstract and tedious, but experiments are always grounded in reality. Lastly, most experiments themselves are generally very interesting. The more experimental exposure the students get, the better prepared they will be when they enter university or work that require hands-on experience. Moreover, most experiments are some form of real life applications. As a result, familiarity with experiments can consolidate a student’s theoretical knowledge. Many of the physics concepts were first discovered through experiments. Physics theory and experiment go hand in hand. This presentation is very helpful for several reasons. To help students learn physics more effectively, Olympiads School bought the entire experiment equipment set from the 2017 IPhO and asked Steven Ye to work through and explain the entire experiment in front of our students.
Due to limited resources in public schools, however, most students do not get a chance to conduct or witness advanced physics experiments. To add some variety to students’ physics learning, Olympiads School has invited Steven Ye, last year’s IPhO gold medalist, to demonstrate the entire experimental section of the 2017 IPhO.Įxperiment is an integral part of physics. The CAP is the only International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) selection exam in Canada. The CAP will be held on April 11 this year.
The Ontario Association of Physics Teachers (OAPT) Exam and the Sir Isaac Newton (SIN) Exam are held every May. The American PhysicsBowl Exam and the Canadian Association of Physics (CAP) Exam are held every April. The Canadian Physics competition season is around every April and May.
