GCSE

Physics Crash course

 Day 1
• Changes in energy stores • Investigate the effectiveness of
different materials as thermal
insulators and the factors that may
affect the thermal insulation
properties of a material
 Day 2
• Conservation and dissipation of energy
 Day 3
• Test day
 Day 4
• Energy transfer • Investigate the reflection of light
• Internal energy and energy by different types of surface and
transfer the refraction of light by different
substances
 Day 5
• Change of state with particle model
• Solar system, stability of orbital, satellite red shift
 Day 6
• Test day
 Day 7
• Forces and their interaction
• Forces and elasticity
 Day 8
• Work done and energy transfer
• Use appropriate apparatus to make and
record the measurements needed to
determine the densities of regular and
irregular solid objects and liquids. Volume
should be determined from the dimensions
of regularly shaped objects, and by a
displacement technique for irregularly
shaped objects. Dimensions to be
measured using appropriate apparatus such
as a ruler, micrometer or Vernier callipers

• Waves in air fluids and solids
• Momentum
 Day 11
• Momentum
• Describe motion along a line
 Day 12
• Final testing and discussion
