Preparation for Olympiads in physics for 8th grade - free course from Foxford, training 30 lessons, Date: December 7, 2023.
Miscellaneous / / December 09, 2023
Competitive spirit
Rate yourself among the strongest in this subject
Let's study the main thing
We teach methods, principles, approaches to understand physics and cope with any task
Getting ready to win
Study at Foxford and win the Olympics
1. The main reason: the course is taught by Alexander Ulitin
Graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
Teacher at visiting Olympiad schools "Foxford" and MIPT
Teacher at the evening physics and technology school at MIPT
Author of Olympiad problems in physics
2. In 31 lessons we will study all the topics of the Regional Stage of the Secondary Secondary School in Physics in 8th grade
In class we will look at each subsection that may occur at the Olympiad
We update the course content every year, adding current methods and tasks
We will also study some 9th grade topics
3. All the topics that once scared you will begin to attract you!
During the course, Alexander will teach you not to be afraid of tasks, to find non-standard but rational methods of solution and to get high from solving problems!
We manually check samples and homework.
We do not leave the written part assignments for self-testing - this is done by OGE experts.
We check “for real”, like in an exam, and as a result you receive detailed feedback. All this is for the sake of speed of preparation and your results. Your personal curator will answer your questions within two hours, 24/7.
The curators understand the program and the subject, so they can easily answer your questions about the course and homework - at any time.
They know well how difficult it can be to prepare and understand your worries.
The most important task of a tutor is to help you cope with stress and fear before exams.
The lesson lasts 2 academic hours.

Thermal phenomena
The section demonstrates how heat transfers from a cold body to a hot one and vice versa, and also tells how body temperature and ambient temperature are related.
- Heat balance equation
- Phase transitions
- Search for final temperature
- Virtual heat bank method
- Heat loss and heat transfer power
- Graphic tasks on thermal phenomena
Preparing for the Maxwell Olympics
The section examines both the theoretical round of the Maxwell Olympiad and the experimental one. It tells you how to correctly formulate any Olympiad problem so as not to lose points.
- Typical Olympiad tasks
- Experimental tasks at Olympiads
- Design of experimental work
Electrical phenomena
The section studies various electrical circuits, how to work with symmetrical circuits, and solving experimental problems with a Black Box.
- Current strength. Voltage
- Electrical resistance of the conductor. Ohm's law
- Serial and parallel connection of conductors
- Symmetrical chains
- Electrical measuring instruments
- Calculation of resistance of semi-infinite circuits
- Current superposition method and equivalent source method
- Nonlinear elements in electrical circuits
- Work and current power. Joule-Lenz law
- Experimental problems in electricity. Black boxes
Light phenomena
This section talks about how light can exist in our world, why it is refracted, and why it travels further. Demonstrates how the beam passes through various lenses.
- Fermat's principle
- Formation of shadow and penumbra
- Laws of light reflection
- Flat mirror. Plane mirror systems
- Laws of light refraction
- Constructing images in thin lenses
- Thin lens formula
- Transverse (linear) increase. Longitudinal increase
- Passage of light through lens and mirror systems
