Topic 1: MOTION, FORCES AND ENERGY
In IGCSE Physics, motion, forces and energy introduce the basics of mechanics. Motion involves describing how objects move using distance, speed, velocity, acceleration and interpreting motion graphs. Forces focuses on balanced and unbalanced forces, Newton’s laws, momentum, density, pressure, friction and air resistance. Energy covers different energy stores, energy transfers, work, power and efficiency, helping students understand how movement and energy are connected.

Topic 2: THERMAL PHYSICS
Thermal expansion is when a substance increases in size when heated and contracts when cooled. This happens because heating gives particles more kinetic energy, so they move faster and further apart.
• Solids expand the least, liquids more, and gases the most.
• Expansion can cause problems, so gaps are left in bridges, railway tracks, and buildings.
• It is also useful in thermometers.
Key idea: Heating makes particles move apart, causing expansion.

PAPER 6 ALTERNATIVE TO PRACTICAL
IGCSE Physics Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical) is designed to test a student's experimental skills rather than their ability to perform calculations from memory. Since they won't be in a lab during the exam, they need to demonstrate that they understand how a lab should function.
