Useful tips and resources
We are running a spiral curriculum. Each topic will be revisited again in Y10 and/or Y11 with harder content and recapping of previously studied work.
Each topic ends with a small test. This covers core questions from the current topic and previous topics as well as exam style questions.
Tips:
Use your Core Questions. They are the building blocks for the whole course
Your textbook is a resource, we won’t use it in class but it has all the content with alternative explanations, diagrams and questions.
Free Science Lessons on YouTube. Explains the basics simply. https://www.youtube.com/@Freesciencelessons
Physics and Maths Tutor is the go-to for past exam papers. But beware… you may find you can’t do many questions yet. That is to be expected with our spiral curriculum.
BBC Bitesize. Simple clear descriptions of many of the phenomena studied. No specific list for IGCSE but all the content is there.
PhET. Lots of animations and virtual experiments. You will probably see some of these in class.
Seneca. Revision and quizzes.
