GCSE Physics Revision Notes

These detailed GCSE physics notes cover the entire syllabus for the Edexcel iGCSE Physics (9 – 1) specification. However, the contents of these notes are universal for all exam boards, because the topics are vastly similar.

The notes have been used by Grade 9 students, and have been compiled to be specific with the most important information required to learn the content. Each specification point is written as a heading and has explanations, diagrams and tables beneath it. There are also many Past paper questions throughout the document which have been added to the appropriate section, as students have found these difficult in the past and they are important to learn. At the end of the document, there are also Key Practical skills which will help students during experiments.
