Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625)

Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) is designed to give learners a strong grasp of the principles and concepts of physics, while also developing their scientific skills and critical thinking. The syllabus includes key areas such as:

• General Physics: motion, forces, energy, density, and pressure.

• Thermal Physics: kinetic theory, transfer of thermal energy, and thermal properties.

• Waves: general wave properties, light, and sound.

• Electricity and Magnetism: electric charge, current, circuits, electromagnetic effects, and magnets.

• Atomic Physics: structure of the atom, radioactivity, and the nuclear model.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, learners develop strong practical skills through experiments, data analysis, and scientific investigations. The course encourages learners to apply physics in everyday contexts, improving problem-solving and analytical abilities.

Assessment is through a combination of multiple-choice, structured, and practical papers, with options for either a written practical test or a coursework component, depending on the school.

This qualification provides an excellent foundation for learners who wish to progress to Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics or other related sciences. It also equips students with transferable skills valuable for further studies and future careers in science, engineering, and technology.
