Move through the core 0625 mechanics content from measurement and motion into forces, momentum, work, energy, and power.
Year 10
Year 10 CIE Physics 0625
Motion, forces, energy, waves, and electrical quantities for Year 10 0625.
Year 10 builds the first major blocks of CIE Physics 0625 through measurement, mechanics, energy, waves, and electrical topics.
Overview
Course focus
Year 10 begins the main IGCSE Physics 0625 course. The focus is on building reliable methods with measurements, motion, forces, energy, waves, and electricity so that the core ideas from each unit connect instead of feeling like separate topics.
You will meet more equations, more graph interpretation, and more exam-style language than in Year 9. By the end of the year, you should be able to describe physical situations clearly, choose the right model, and apply the main formulas with better accuracy and confidence.
Practise graph interpretation, vector reasoning, and multi-step calculations across the main Year 10 topics.
Finish with waves and electrical quantities so the key models are in place before the deeper Year 11 electricity units.

Topic
01Motion and Measurement
Build core measurement techniques, motion calculations, and graph interpretation at the start of Year 10.
Topic
02Forces, Moments & Vectors
Develop force models through mass and weight, Hooke's law, Newton's laws, vectors, moments, pressure, density, and freefall.
Topic
03Momentum, Work, Energy & Power
Connect momentum, collisions, energy stores, work, power, and efficiency in Year 10 mechanics.
Topic
04Waves
Learn how waves behave and use those ideas to explain sound, the electromagnetic spectrum, light rays, refraction, total internal reflection, dispersion, and lenses.
Topic
05Electrical Quantities
Learn static electricity, electric fields, current, potential difference, circuit building, and resistance in Year 10 electricity.
