Ever wondered about the workings of your mobile? Or the forces preventing us
from slipping? Or how sound travels through your earphones? Physics is about
much more than black holes and atmospheres; it's the study of unseen forces that
orchestrate our world, offering answers to life's profound questions.
This dynamic online programme delves deep into energy forms, their storage and
transfer. You will learn about the structure of particles that constitute our
surroundings, and their interactions. Explore electromagnetism, properties of
radiation waves, and the marvels of the solar system. IGCSE Physics is a gateway
to careers in astronomy, environmental science, engineering and beyond, and to
further university study. Self-paced, with a comprehensive induction and
well-structured assignments, it prepares you for your exams at your convenience.
