Current framework
Examinations in 2025–2027 · Version 1

Topics 1–11 establish measurement, mechanics, waves, electricity, and particle physics.

Know what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Name both axes, units, and the physical meaning of the plotted quantities.

  2. 02

    Connect gradient, area, intercepts, and shape to the governing physics.

  3. 03

    Move between a graph, a verbal description, and an equation without changing the model.

Build, apply, check.

2 Kinematics sits inside AS Level foundations. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
