Cambridge IGCSE Physics 3rd Edition

New editions for examination from 2023. We are working towards endorsement by Cambridge Assessment International Education, so you can be confident this series supports the syllabus.These flexible resources have a skills development focus to help prepare the scientists of the future. Choose which components you need from our comprehensive series, comprising a coursebook, teacher's resource, workbook, practical workbook, and English language skills workbook and maths skills workbook (coming in 2022).Through extensive research, including lesson observations, teacher interviews and work with our online research community (the Cambridge Panel) these resources have been designed to meet specific challenges through targeted support and the creation of dedicated components that focus on specific skills areas. The series supports students learning science in English as a second language; learners who need more support with mathematical content in science; the development of essential practical skills; and the building of confidence with command terms and exam-style questions.

This practical write-in workbook with digital access is the perfect companion to the coursebook and workbook. The practical workbook focuses on the key practical skills that learners need to develop. It is aimed at learners preparing for practical tests or alternatives to practical tests. Sample data is provided to enable students to use the workbook when the practical cannot be carried out. The workbook is written in accessible English with ‘Key Word’ feature for English as a second language learners. Each investigation in the workbook covers equipment needed, safety considerations, ‘Getting Started’ questions to help familiarise students with the equipment and method they will be using and a method with step-by-step instructions, questions focus on the key skills of recording and handling data, analysis and evaluation.
