View topicsYear 11 begins CCEA GCSE Physics in Northern Ireland, typically covering forces and motion, energy, electricity and domestic electricity.
Formulae and units become central, and the shift from Key Stage 3 is mathematical: rearranging equations, working in standard form and drawing accurate graphs all carry marks. Setting work out cleanly matters as much as understanding the physics.
