With the same science and equal number of exams across our tiered qualifications, you can structure the courses in the ways that mean you can best support and stretch your students together .  \nOur specifications are straightforward, and our selection of core practicals are designed to help bring science learning to life . And when it comes to our assessments, they’re shaped to encourage all students to best show what they know and can do .  \nSupporting you in planning and implementing this qualification   \nPlanning  \n● Our Getting Started guide gives you an overview of the new GCSE qualifications to help you to get to grips with the changes to content and assessment and to help you understand what these changes mean for you and your students.  \n● We will give you editable schemes of work that you can adapt to suit your department.  \n● Our mapping documents highlight key differences between the new and 2011 qualifications.  \nTeaching and learning  \nThere will be lots of free teaching and learning support t","cbCaigdFJ4jbPXuZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigdFJ4jbPXuZ","pdf",1249221,78,"English","# Summary of Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9–1) in Physics (1PH0) specification Issue 4 changes\n## Contents\n# 1 Introduction\n## Why choose Edexcel GCSE in Physics?\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n## Planning\n## Teaching and learning\n## Preparing for exams\n## ResultsPlus\n## Get help and support\n## examWizard\n# Content and assessment overview\n## Qualification at a glance\n# 2 Subject content\n# 3 Assessment information\n# 4 Administration and general information\n# Appendix 1: Mathematical skills\n# Appendix 2: Equations in Physics\n# Appendix 3: SI Units in Physics\n# Appendix 4: Taxonomy\n# Appendix 5: Apparatus and techniques\n# Appendix 6: Practical Science Statement\n# Appendix 7: The context for the development of this qualification\n# Appendix 8: Transferable skills\n# Appendix 9: Codes\n# Appendix 10: Calculators","[{\"question\":\"What does Issue 4 change in the GCSE (9-1) Physics specification?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 4 provides a summary of changes from the previous issue, including removing named subject advisors from the “Get help and support” section and aligning specific highlighting of higher tier content with the Combined Science specification.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the GCSE (9-1) Physics qualification assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The qualification consists of two externally examined papers, available at foundation tier and higher tier.
