Physics
GCSE Physics explains how the universe works. Students study energy, electricity, the particle model, atomic structure and radiation, forces, waves, magnetism and space physics, with required practicals. Mapped to AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
Topics in Physics
Energy
Energy is the core idea. This topic covers energy stores and transfers, efficiency, and energy resources.
Explore →Electricity
Electricity powers everything. This topic covers circuits, current, resistance, mains electricity and power.
Explore →Particle Model of Matter
Particles explain matter’s behaviour. This topic covers density, states of matter, internal energy and specific heat capacity.
Explore →Atomic Structure & Radiation
Inside the atom lies huge energy. This topic covers atomic structure, radioactivity, half-life and nuclear radiation.
Explore →Forces
Forces explain motion. This topic covers forces, motion, Newton’s laws, stopping distances and momentum.
Explore →Waves
Waves carry energy and information. This topic covers wave properties, the electromagnetic spectrum, and reflection and refraction.
Explore →Magnetism and Electromagnetism
Magnetism and electricity are linked. This topic covers magnetism, electromagnets, the motor effect and the generator effect.
