View topicsYear 11 completes WJEC GCSE Physics in Wales, typically covering forces and motion, Newton's laws, momentum, radioactivity, kinetic theory, magnetism and electromagnetism, and space physics.
Forces carries the heaviest calculation load on the specification. Exam performance depends on disciplined layout (equation, substitution, answer, unit) and on practice with the extended six-mark questions that decide the top grades.
