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 write-in workbook contains step-by-step guided investigations and practice questions for Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics teachers and students. Through practical investigation, it provides opportunities to develop skills– planning, identifying equipment, creating hypotheses, recording results, analysing data, and evaluating. The workbook is ideal for teachers who find running practical experiments difficult due to lack of time, resources or support. Sample data – if students can’t do the experiments themselves – and answers to the questions are in the teacher’s guide.
