TONBRIDGE SCHOOL
Edexcel IGCSE in Physics (4PH0)
Edexcel IGCSE in Science (Double Award)
(4SC0) Revision January 2014
Information
This document is simply a check list for the revision you should have done.
The Physics exam will take place in January 2014 in Old Big School and Big School. The exam will
be 80 minutes long; remember to bring a BLACK pen, a pencil, a calculator, ruler and protractor;
these items will not be provided for you!
The triple award P-sets will be doing an additional 30 minute exam in lessons after the main mocks.
At Easter you will be provided with a CGP Revision book.
The following list are some examples of revision websites; they are no means comprehensive and are
often aimed at “C” – grade candidates, so Tonbridge students shouldn’t get any questions wrong!

,Qualification content
Paper 1 assesses only the content that is not in bold. BOTH TRIPLE & DOUBLE
Paper 2 assesses all content including content in bold. - TRIPLE ONLY
This Edexcel International GCSE in Physics requires students to demonstrate an
understanding of:
• forces and motion
• electricity
• waves
• energy resources and energy transfer
• solids, liquids and gases
• magnetism and electromagnetism
• radioactivity and particles.
Section 1: Forces and motion
a) Units
b) Movement and position
c) Forces, movement, shape and momentum
d) Astronomy
a) Units
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
1.1 use the following units: kilogram (kg), metre (m), metre/second (m/s),
metre/second2 (m/s2), newton (N), second (s), newton per kilogram (N/kg),
kilogram metre/second (kg m/s).

, b) Movement and position
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
1.2 plot and interpret distance-time graphs
1.3 know and use the relationship between average speed, distance moved and
time:
distance moved
average speed =
time taken
1.4 describe experiments to investigate the motion of everyday objects such as
toy cars or tennis balls
1.5 know and use the relationship between acceleration, velocity and time:
changein velocity
acceleration =
time taken
(v u )
a=
t
1.6 plot and interpret velocity-time graphs
1.7 determine acceleration from the gradient of a velocity-time graph
1.8 determine the distance travelled from the area between a velocity-time
graph and the time axis.
