A free IB DP Physics end-of-topic test for Topic A.1 Kinematics, SL and HL, first assessment 2025: two complete question papers and two full mark schemes, with an assessment objective tagged on every mark. Not a cut-down teaser: the whole test, given away in full.

A composite mini-paper mirroring the IB examinations: multiple choice in Paper 1A register, a data-analysis question in Paper 1B register, and structured questions with mark allocations in Paper 2 register. SL is 39 marks in 50 minutes, HL is 46 marks in 60 minutes. Those are sitting times, not teaching time. SL is the HL paper with the higher-level items removed, so a mixed class sits the same questions at two lengths, and every question is fresh-written, so students who worked the A.1 packs meet unseen items.

What the paper asks:

  • Section A (8 MCQ at SL, 10 at HL): defining velocity, sign conventions, distance against displacement, average against instantaneous speed, displacement as signed area under a velocity-time graph, and a thrown stone when drag matters.
  • Section B (10 marks SL, 12 HL): a puck slowing on a level floor. Complete two v squared values, plot v squared against s, take the deceleration from the gradient of the best-fit line, and judge the uniform-deceleration claim against an anomalous reading.
  • Section C (21 marks SL, 24 HL): a speedboat accelerating from rest, a T-shirt launcher firing at 24 m s⁻¹ and 35 degrees, and two balls dropped from a cliff, one reaching terminal speed.

Every understanding of Topic A.1 appears in at least one item, and both papers hit the guide’s 50/50 weighting of AO1 plus AO2 against AO3.

What’s included:

  • SL Question Paper, 10 pages, with exam cover, instructions and a teacher marking grid
  • SL Mark Scheme, 15 pages, with an AO balance table and indicative grade boundaries
  • HL Question Paper, 11 pages
  • HL Mark Scheme, 17 pages

Every marking point carries its AO tag and IB marking notation, every MCQ prints its key with each distractor explained, and the data question includes the model graph. Each document ships as a colour PDF and a printer-friendly B&W PDF. A print paper: no deck and no editable file. Grades 11-12 (ages 16-19).

IB DP Physics (2025) A.1 Kinematics Complete Unit Bundle

The complete Topic A.1 Kinematics unit for IB DP Physics, SL and HL, first assessment 2025, bundled into one sequenced teaching unit and priced 30% below the cost of buying the packs separately. **What's in the unit** - Nine lesson packs in teaching order: Distance and Displacement, Speed and Velocity, Acceleration and Non-Uniform Motion, Graphical Analysis of Motion, SUVAT Equations I and II, Projectile Motion I and II, and Fluid Resistance. - A1.P1, a full double-period bench practical measuring the acceleration of free fall, aim to evaluation, with honest sample data. - SL and HL topic tests with AO-tagged mark schemes, for end-of-topic assessment. - Skill packs for targeted drill on scientific notation, significant figures and unit conversion. Together the lessons cover all nine understandings of Topic A.1: position, displacement, velocity and acceleration, motion graphs, the four suvat equations, projectile motion, and the qualitative effect of fluid resistance. **Every lesson pack includes:** - An editable student worksheet - A teacher key with every answer and marking point - Worked solutions with every step and its units - A questions-only assessment with IB mark allocations - A choreographed lesson deck with staged reveals **IB skills (mostly Tool 3: Mathematics)**: identifying scalars and vectors, determining rates of change, drawing and adding vectors, converting units, selecting and rearranging the suvat equations, resolving vectors into perpendicular components, interpreting and sketching motion graphs, and linearizing data. The practical adds Tool 1 experimental technique and the Inquiry skills: measuring time and length, recording and propagating uncertainties, plotting best-fit lines, and evaluating error sources. Everything ships as self-contained HTML, so worksheet and deck open in any browser with nothing to install and the worksheet is fully editable, plus colour and black-and-white PDF of every projection and the slides. SI units, IB notation and IB command terms throughout. A1.1 is free, so you can teach a whole lesson before buying. Suitable for grades 11-12 (ages 16-19) for first teaching, assessment and revision. **Also in the catalogue, sold separately:** - [Resolving Vectors, the skill pack behind the projectile lessons](/teaching-resource/-13537892) - [Uncertainties, the arithmetic the practical leans on](/teaching-resource/-13538960) - [Uncertainties on a Graph, error bars and extreme gradient lines]( /teaching-resource/-13542412)
