Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics 3rd Edition

New editions for examination from 2022. This series flexibly meets the needs of students and teachers, with support for 21st century skills. Choose which components you need from our range of resources, which include coursebook, teacher’s resource, workbook and practical workbook - the right elements for future success! Extensive research through lesson observations, teacher interviews and work with our online research community (the Cambridge Panel) means that these resources meet the real teaching needs of the science classroom. Exam-style questions ensure students feel confident approaching assessment. New features provide diagnostic questions and reflection opportunities. Self-evaluation checklists develop responsible learners. Dedicated support for practical skills helps students transition to Cambridge International AS & A Level. This series is written to support English as a second language learners with key command terms, key words, accessible language throughout and glossary definitions in context throughout the text.

This workbook is designed to support the coursebook, with specially selected topics where students would benefit from further opportunities to apply skills, such as application, analysis and evaluation in addition to developing knowledge and understanding. (The workbook does not cover all topics in the Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics syllabus (9702)). This workbook with digital access is the perfect companion for the coursebook. The workbook includes formative exercises, mapped directly onto the coursebook. For each chapter, a range of exercises builds on the topics and concepts that have been introduced. It includes command terms throughout to help familiarise students with their appropriate use. Questions include a skills focus that require students to draw graphs or provide workings.
