That's why we have a suite of science qualifications for Key Stage 4 – to suit students of all abilities and all aspirations.  \nYou'll see that our GCSE Physics, along with Chemistry and Biology, is a clear straightforward specification, with clear straightforward exams, so all your students can realise their potential.  \nOur specification has been developed with teachers  \nWe’ve involved over a thousand teachers in developing our specification, exams and resources. So you can be confident that our GCSE Physics is relevant and interesting to teach and to learn. We’ve ensured that:  \n• the subject content is presented clearly, in a logical teaching order. We’ve also given teaching guidance and signposted opportunities for skills development throughout the specification.  \n• the subject content and required practicals in our GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy are also in our GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. So you have the flexibility to co-teach or to move your students between courses.  \n• all our science qualifications provide opportunities for progression. Our GCSE Physics includes progression in the subject content and consistency in the exam questions, so that your students have the best preparation for A-level.  \nOur practicals have been trialled by teachers  \nThere’s no better way to learn about science than through purposeful practical activities as part of day to day teaching and learning. Our eight required practicals:  \n• are clearly laid out in the specification, so ","cbCaighTFz4ZrPCU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaighTFz4ZrPCU","pdf",2039848,104,"English","# Introduction\n## Why choose AQA for GCSE Physics\n## Support and resources to help you teach\n# Specification at a glance\n## Subject content\n## Assessments\n# Working scientifically\n# Subject content\n## Energy\n## Electricity\n## Particle model of matter\n## Atomic structure\n## Forces\n## Waves\n## Magnetism and electromagnetism\n## Space physics\n## Key ideas\n# Scheme of assessment\n## Aims and learning outcomes\n## Assessment objectives\n## Assessment weightings\n# General administration\n## Entries and codes\n## Overlaps with other qualifications\n## Awarding grades and reporting results\n## Resits and shelf life\n## Previous learning and prerequisites\n## Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion\n## Working with AQA for the first time\n## Private candidates\n# Mathematical requirements\n# Practical assessment\n## Use of apparatus and techniques\n## Required practical activities\n# Appendix A: Physics equations","[{\"question\":\"What period does this GCSE Physics (8463) specification cover for teaching and exams?\",\"answer\":\"It is for teaching from September 2016 onwards and for exams from 2018 onwards.\"},{\"question\":\"Which subject content areas are included in the specification?\",\"answer\":\"It covers energy, electricity, particle model of matter, atomic structure, forces, waves, magnetism and electromagnetism, and space physics (physics only), plus key ideas.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the specification require for practical assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It includes a practical assessment section with guidance on use of apparatus and techniques, and lists the required practical activities.\"}]","GCSE Physics (8463) - Specification - Version 1.1 | PDF",1792467735,262]
