Physics GCSE Learn and Revise
A set of learning resources for GCSE Physics, including free access to interactive 3D e-scenarios.
Each e-scenario presents a Physics concept in a highly visual and accessible way, allowing you to explore the concept through interaction and observation. The underlying Physics is deliberately made clear, helping you to develop an intuitive understanding of the ideas involved.
The e-scenarios are closely targeted at the types of questions commonly asked in GCSE Physics examinations. These questions, together with the supporting learning material, are used to reinforce and consolidate your understanding.
All the e-scenarios will run on devices as small as a mobile 'phone as long as the browser you are using supports WebGL.
In this section we are going to explore how much a spring extends when we apply a force to it.
We are going to do this by looking at an e-scenario of a spring supported at its end on high, and a weight cradle attached to its lower end. We are able to change the number of weights on the cradle and measure the extension of the spring using the attached ruler.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
In this title we are going to explore how forces change a body’s acceleration. We will examine how forward forces and backward forces acting on a body can be added together.
We are going to do this by looking at a scenario of a car under the force of its engine (forward force) and both brakes and air resistance (backward forces).
Finally, we will look at GCSE exam questions where we can apply what we have learned.
In this title we are going to explore how a car on a ramp reacts to the force of gravity.
We are going to do this by looking at a scenario of a car on a fairground style roller coaster.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
In this title we are going to explore how temperature affects the pressure exerted by a gas.
We are going to do this by looking at a scenario of a volume of gas in a container above a Bunsen burner.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
In this section we are going to explore how volume affects the pressure exerted by a gas.
We are going to do this by looking at a scenario of a volume of air in a container with a piston that can reduce the volume available to the gas.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
In this section we are going to explore different radioactive sources, their properties and how they are detected.
We are going to do this by looking at an e-scenario of a set of sources, some material blocks or shields, a Geiger counter, and a rate meter.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
In this section we are going to explore how the electrical resistance of a wire depends on its length.
We are going to do this by looking at an e-scenario of a wire connected in series with a power supply and an ammeter, and in parallel with a voltmeter.
Finally, we will look at a GCSE exam question where we can apply what we have learned.
