  1. Mock IGCSE Coordinated science Physics section

  2. P1: THE STRENGTH OF SOLIDS • Hookes law – including calculations • Moments – calculations • Why things balance – “The Principle of Moments” • Vectors – including adding vectors using diagrams ( The parallelogram law)

  3. P2: PARTICLES IN MOTION • Describe the particle theory of matter • Explain how motion of particles depends on temperature. • Use the Kelvin temperature scale • Explain evaporation, diffusion and changes of state using particle theory. • Calculate density and know how to use eureke cans • Relate pressure , temperature and volume for a gas.

  4. P3: MOTION • Understand speed, time and acceleration. • Carry out simple calculations (v = at and • s = ½ at2) • Plot and interpret graphs of speed/ time and distance/ time • Know the difference between speed and velocity

  5. P4: FORCE AND MOTION • Force is measured in Newtons • Carry out calculations using F=Ma • Understand balanced and unbalanced forces • Understand friction and air resistance

  6. P5: ENERGY TRANSFER • Work = force x distance • Pressure = force / area • Understand energy transfer • Understand hydraulic systems • Discuss efficiency and wasted energy

  7. P6: TRANSFERRING ENERGY BY HEATING • Understand conduction, convection and radiation • Use specific heat capacity in calculations • Understand latent heat • Write about energy conservation

  8. P7: USING ELECTRICITY • Draw simple circuits • Use ammeters and voltmeters • Understand electric current and coulombs • Understand the dangers of electricity

  9. P8: ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY • Explain voltage and potential difference • Calculate power in a circuit (P= V I ) • Understand resistance and Ohm’s law (graphs and calculations) • Calculate total resistance of resistors in series and parallel • Describe the factors that affect the resistance of a wire

  10. P9: WAVES • Know how to draw transverse and longitudinal waves • Understand amplitude, frequency and wavelength • Carry out calculations (wave speed = • wavelength × frequency)

  11. P10: LIGHT AND SOUND • Understand reflection and refraction for light and sound (including echoes and sonar) • Identify real and virtual images from a lens • Draw optical fibres • Know about audible and non audible frequencies (including the range of frequencies a human can hear) • Know about how sound can damage hearing.

  12. P11: MAKING USE OF WAVES • Know about the EMS (inc.radio, microwave, infra-red, ultraviolet and X-rays) • Know how colour and frequency are related • Know the primary and secondary colours for light • Know how a prism can split light into colours (ROYGBIV) • Know about waves during earthquakes)

  13. P12: KINETIC ENERGY AND MOMENTUM • Define KE and momentum and be able to do calculations. • Understand how “conservation of momentum” can be applied

  14. P12: KINETIC ENERGY AND MOMENTUM • Know the difference between mass and weight • Explain how objects can orbit the Earth • Write about objects falling to Earth (especially men with parachutes) • Know the value of g on Earth

  15.
