Brief Description of Course

Course outline Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Physics is a linear qualification with two written examinations, that will be taken in the same series at the end of the course of study. The assessment is an un-tiered written examination with questions designed to be accessible to students of all abilities.

Learners will learn about unifying patterns and themes in physics and use them in new and changing situations. They will acquire knowledge and understanding of physical facts, terminology, concepts, principles and practical techniques to evaluate chemical information, make judgements on the basis of this information. They will analyse, interpret and evaluate data and experimental methods. Learners will draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence from experimental activities and suggesting possible improvements and further investigations.

Approach: It builds a foundation for students wishing to progress to the Pearson Edexcel Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE, International AS and A Level qualifications or equivalent qualifications, focusing on key physics theory.
