Year 13
Side A2: Temperature, Ideal Gases & Thermodynamics
Build Side A thermal physics through temperature, gas models, and thermodynamic relationships.
Part of Year 13 CIE Physics 9702.
Topic Overview
What students will cover
This topic extends thermal physics into ideal gases and the first law of thermodynamics. Keep the sequence explicit so students can connect particle models, equations, and test preparation.
