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 digital teacher’s resource is designed to help teachers use the series in the most effective way, bridging the gap between teaching theory and practice. It helps teachers support their learners, plan great lessons and teach to the syllabus. The resource also contains professional development to help explain key ideas and approaches, such as active learning, assessment for learning, metacognition, differentiation, cross-curricular learning and project work, questioning and feedback techniques, language awareness, skills for life, and to help teachers incorporate these techniques into their teaching and reflect on the outcomes. This resource was tested in the classroom and contains activities authored by teachers and comments from teachers on their application with their learners. It also includes additional time-saving downloadable and editable content, such as tests and worksheets and a new guide to all the practical activities in the practical workbook and coursebook, and sample data for the activities in the practical workbook. The resource also provides a variety of active lesson ideas with timings. For each topic there are lesson ideas, plenary ideas and reflection tips, and differentiation support. Activity ideas provide extra content and suggestions for hinge questions to support assessment for learning.
