From such models, a wide range of ideas, from the broadest issue of the development of the universe over time to the numerous and detailed ways in which new technologies may be invented, have emerged. These have enriched both our basic understanding of, and our many adaptations to, our material environment. You should understand how, through the ideas of physics, the complex and diverse phenomena of the natural world can be described in terms of a small number of key ideas which are of universal application and which can be illustrated in the separate topics set out below. These ideas include:
Topic P1: Matter
P1.1 The particle model Appreciate that knowledge and understanding of the particle nature of matter is fundamental to Physics and an appreciation of matter in its different forms. You must also be aware of the subatomic particles, their relative charges, masses and positions inside the atom. The structure and nature of atoms is essential to the further understanding of physics and is needed to explain many phenomena, for example those involving charge and transfer of charges, as well as radioactivity. You should be aware of a simple atomic model, and that atoms are examples of particles and know the difference between atoms, molecules and compounds. You should understand how density can be affected by the state materials are in. Beware of confusing the different types of particles (subatomic particles, atoms and molecules) and making errors when converting between different units.
P1.1a Be able to describe how and why the atomic model has changed over time including the Thomson, Rutherford (alongside Geiger and Marsden) and Bohr models. Check out the timeline showing the development of atomic theory and discussion of the different roles played in developing the atomic model and how different scientists worked together. P1.1b Be able to describe the atom as a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, with the nuclear radius much smaller than that of the atom and with almost all of the mass in the nucleus. P1.1c Know the typical size (order of magnitude) of atoms and small molecules typically 1 x 10-10 m Atomic Structure - nucleus, electrons, isotopes, history etc. Revision Notes P1.1d Be able to define density. From measurements of length, volume and mass be able to calculate density.
P1.1e Be able to explain the differences in density between the different states of matter in terms of the arrangements of the atoms and molecules. P1.1f Be able to apply the relationship between density, mass and volume to changes where mass is conserved. The density of materials and the particle model of matter Revision Notes P1.2 Changes of state
A clear understanding of the foundations of the physical world forms a solid basis for further study of Physics. Understanding of the relationship between the states of matter helps to explain different types of everyday physical changes that we see around us. You should be familiar with the structure of matter and the similarities and differences between solids, liquids and gases. You should have a simple idea of the particle model and be able to use it to model changes in particle behaviour during changes of state. You should be aware of the effect of temperature in the motion and spacing of particles and an understanding that energy can be stored internally by materials. Common misconceptions - assuming atoms are always synonymous with particles, there is actually nothing between the particles, so its wrong to ‘fill’ the gaps with ‘air’ or ‘vapour’. Its not always easy to visualise the 3 dimensional arrangement of particles in all states of matter. You may find it challenging to understand how kinetic theory applies to heating materials and how to use the term temperature correctly, regularly confusing the terms temperature and heat. Be able to apply the following equations with the correct units:
P1.2a Be able to describe how mass is conserved when substances melt, freeze, evaporate, condense or sublimate. Use of a data logger to record change in state and mass at different temperatures.
P1.2b Be able to describe that these physical changes differ from chemical changes because the material recovers its original properties if the change is reversed. P1.2c Be able to describe how heating a system will change the energy stored within the system and raise its temperature or produce changes of state.
P1.2d Be able to define the term specific heat capacity and distinguish between it and the term specific latent heat.
P1.2e Be able to apply the relationship between change in internal energy of a material and its mass, specific heat capacity and temperature change to calculate the energy change involved. Specific heat capacity: How to determine it, use of data, calculations and thermal energy stores Revision Notes P1.2f Be able to apply the relationship between specific latent heat and mass to calculate the energy change involved in a change of state.
Particle theory models, internal energy, heat transfer in state changes and latent heat and particle motion in gases and gas pressure (written more from a 'physics' point of view) Revision Notes Particle models of gases–liquids–solids, explaining properties, state changes (written more from a 'chemistry' point of view) revision notes P1.3 Pressure
This section develops the understanding of pressure in gases and liquids. Pressure in gases builds on the particle model, and in liquids the increase in pressure with depth is explained as the weight of a column of liquid acting on a unit area. You should be aware of the change in pressure in the atmosphere and in liquids with height (qualitative relationship only). You should have an understanding of floating and sinking and the effect of upthrust. You should know that pressure is measured by a ratio of force over area which is acting at a normal to the surface. Common misconceptions - floating and sinking, based on the premise that light or small objects float and heavy or large objects sink. You may misunderstand the role of pressure difference and suction e.g. the collapsing can and the forcing of air into the lungs during inhalation. Be able to apply the following equations for (i) gases and (ii) liquids:
P1.3a Be able to explain how the motion of the molecules in a gas is related both to its temperature and its pressure - application to closed systems only.
P1.3b Be able to explain the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its pressure at constant volume (qualitative only).
P1.3c Know that gases can be compressed or expanded by pressure changes and that the pressure produces a net force at right angles to any surface.
P1.3d Be able to explain how increasing the volume in which a gas is contained, at constant temperature can lead to a decrease in pressure behaviour - with reference to particle velocity and collisions.
P1.3e (HT only) Be able to explain how doing work on a gas can increase its temperature eg action of a bicycle pump.
P1.3f Be able to describe a simple model of the Earth’s atmosphere and of atmospheric pressure - an assumption of uniform density. Knowledge of layers is not expected. P1.3g Be able to explain why atmospheric pressure varies with height above the surface of the planet. P1.3h (HT only) Be able to describe the factors which influence floating and sinking P1.3i (HT only) Be able to explain why pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density and how this leads to an upwards force on a partially submerged object.
P1.3j (HT only) Be able to calculate the differences in pressure at different depths in a liquid including knowledge that g is the strength of the gravitational field and has a value of 10N/kg near the Earth’s surface

Topic P2: Forces
P2.1 Motion
Having looked at the nature of matter which makes up objects, we move on to consider the effects of forces. The interaction between objects leads to actions which can be seen by the observer, these actions are caused by forces between the objects in question. Some of the interactions involve contact between the objects, others involve no contact. You need to consider the importance of the direction in which forces act to allow understanding of the importance of vector quantities when trying to predict the action. You should have a basic knowledge of the mathematical relationship between speed, distance and time. You should also be able to represent this information in a distance-time graph and have an understanding of relative motion of objects. Common misconceptions - you may find the concept of action at a distance challenging, there is a tendency to believe that a velocity must have a positive value and have difficulty in associating a reverse in direction with a change in sign. It is therefore important to make sure you are knowledgeable about the vector / scalar distinction. You need to be able to differentiate between scalar and vector quantities and the idea of objects with a changing direction not having a constant vector value. For example, objects moving in a circle. This issue also arises when trying to handle momentum and changes in momentum of objects colliding. Know and be able to apply the following formulae:
Be able to apply:
P2.1a Be able to describe how to measure distance and time in a range of scenarios P2.1b Be able to describe how to measure distance and time and be able to use these to calculate speed .

Newton’s laws of motion essentially define the means by which motion changes and the relationship between these changes in motion with force and mass. Newton's First, Second and Third Laws of Motion, inertia and F = ma calculations gcse physics revision notes You should have an understanding of contact and non-contact forces influencing the motion of an object. You should be aware of Newtons and that this is the measure of force. The new work here involves studying Newton's three laws of motion (his contribution to physics is recognised by have the unit of force named after him!). You are expected to be able to use force arrows and have an understanding of balanced and unbalanced forces. Common misconceptions - objects needing a net force for them to continue to move steadily and to understand that stationary objects also have forces acting on them. Be able to differentiate between scalar and vector quantities and the idea of objects with a changing direction not having a constant vector value, for example, objects moving in a circle. This issue also arises with the concept of momentum and changes in momentum of colliding objects. Know and be able to apply the following equations:
P2.2a Know examples of ways in which objects interact electrostatics, gravity, magnetism and by contact (including normal contact force and friction) P2.2b Be able to describe how such examples involve interactions between pairs of objects which produce a force on each object P2.2c Be able to represent such forces as vectors including drawing free body force diagrams to demonstrate understanding of forces acting as vectors FORCES 3.

P2.3 Forces in action
Know that forces acting on an object can result in a change of shape or motion. Having looked at the nature of matter, we can now introduce the idea of fields and forces causing changes. This develops the idea that force interactions between objects can take place even if they are not in contact. They can also still result in an object changing shape or motion. You should be familiar with forces associated with deforming objects, with stretching and compressing (springs). You should have an understanding of forces acting to deform objects and to restrict motion. You should already be familiar with Hooke’s Law and the idea that when work is done by a force; this results in an energy transfer and leads to energy being stored by an object. You are expected to know that there is a force due to gravity and that gravitational field strength differs on other planets and stars. You should be aware of moments acting as a turning force. Common misconceptions - students commonly have difficulty understanding that the weight of an object is not the same as its mass from the use of the term ‘weighing’. The concept of force multipliers can also be challenging even though the basic concepts are ones covered at KS3. Be able to recall and apply:
Be able to apply:
P2.3a Be able to explain that to stretch, bend or compress an object, more than one force has to be applied - apply to real life situations

P2.3l Be able to define and calculate the moment of the force in such examples. Application of the principle of moments which are balanced.
P2.3m Be able to explain how levers and gears transmit the rotational effects of forces - an understanding of ratios and how this enables gears and levers to work as force multipliers. P2.3n Know that the pressure in fluids (gases and liquids) causes a net force at right angles to any surface.
P2.3o Be able to use the relationship between the force, the pressure and the area in contact - an understanding of how simple hydraulic systems work FORCES 6. Pressure in liquid fluids and hydraulic systems
Topic P3: Electricity
P3.1 Static and charge
This topic considers the interactions between matter and electrostatic fields. These interactions are derived from the structure of matter which was considered in the previous section. The generation of charge is considered. Charge is a fundamental property of matter. There are two types of charge which are given the names 'positive' and 'negative'. The effects of these charges are not normally seen as objects often contain equal amounts of positive and negative charge so their effects cancel each other out. You should be aware of electron transfer leading to objects becoming statically charged and the forces between them and also be aware of the existence of an electric field. Common misconceptions - classifying which materials act as insulators or act as conductors - the role of insulators should not be neglected. Also, remember that positive charge does not move to make a material positive, rather it is the movement of negative electrons.
P3.1a Be able to describe that charge is a property of all matter and that there are positive and negative charges. The effects of the charges are not normally seen on bodies containing equal amounts of positive and negative charge, as their effects cancel each other out.

P3.1f Know that current has the same value at any point in a single closed loop P3.1g Know and be able to use the relationship between quantity of charge, current and time Static electricity and electric fields, uses and dangers of static electricity Revision Notes P3.2 Simple circuits
Know that electrical currents depend on the movement of charge and the interaction of electrostatic fields. The electrical current, potential difference and resistance are all covered in this topic. The relationship between them is considered and you will represent this, using circuits. You should have been introduced to the measurement of conventional current and potential difference in circuits. You will have an understanding of how to assemble series and parallel circuits and a basic understanding of how they differ with respect to conventional current and potential difference. You are expected to have an awareness of the relationship between potential difference, current and resistance and the units in which they are measured. Common misconceptions - the concept of potential difference may be very difficult to grasp. You may find it difficult to understand the behaviour of charge in circuits and through components and how this relates to energy or work done within a circuit Know and be able to apply the following equations:
P3.2a Be able to describe the differences between series and parallel circuits, including position of measuring instruments in circuits and descriptions of the behaviour of energy, current and potential difference

P3.2c Know that current (I) depends on both resistance (R) and potential difference (V) and the units in which these are measured including the definition of potential difference
P3.2d Know and be able to apply the relationship between I, R and V, and that for some resistors the value of R remains constant but that in others it can change as the current changes.
P3.2e Be able to explain that for some resistors the value of R remains constant but that in others it can change as the current changes P3.2f Be able to explain the design and use of circuits to explore such effects including components such as wire of varying resistance, filament lamps, diodes, thermistors and LDRs P3.2g Be able to use graphs to explore whether circuit elements are linear or non-linear.

Alter p.d. and keep current same using variable resistor. Record and plot results. P3.2i Be able to explain why, if two resistors are in series the net resistance is increased, whereas with two in parallel the net resistance is decreased (qualitative explanation only).
P3.2j Be able to calculate the currents, potential differences and resistances in d.c. series and parallel circuits including components such as wire of varying resistance, filament lamps, diodes, thermistors and LDRs. Investigation of resistance of a thermistor in a beaker of water being heated.
P3.2k Be able to explain the design and use of such circuits for measurement and testing purposes P3.2l Be able to explain how the power transfer in any circuit device is related to the potential difference across it and the current, and to the energy changes over a given time.

Circuit devices and how are they used? (e.g. thermistor and LDR), relevant graphs gcse physics revision 5. More on series and parallel circuits, circuit diagrams, measurements and calculations gcse physics revision
Topic P4: Magnetism and magnetic fields (OCR 9-1 GCSE Gateway Science A GCSE PHYSICS A 1st paper 1/3, Topic P4 "Magnetism and magnetic fields") Having an understanding of how charge can be generated and its effects, we can now consider the effects of movement of charge in magnetism. You will look at magnets and magnetic fields around magnets and current-carrying wires. You should have been introduced to magnets and the idea of attractive and repulsive forces and have an idea of the shape of the fields around bar magnets. You are expected to have an awareness of the magnetic effect of a current and electromagnets. Common misconceptions - larger magnets will always be stronger magnets. You may have difficulty understanding the concept of field line density being an indicator of field strength. You should know that the geographic and magnetic poles are not located in the same place. P4.1a Be able to describe the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles for permanent magnets including diagrams of magnetic field patterns around bar magnets to show attraction and repulsion.
P4.1b Be able to describe the difference between permanent and induced magnets. P4.1c Be able to describe the characteristics of the magnetic field of a magnet, showing how strength and direction change from one point to another including diagrams of magnetic field patterns around bar magnets to show attraction and repulsion and also depict how the strength of the field varies around them.

Know that forces show the existence of fields and how they interact with one another but here the force itself is discussed in more depth and then quantified. These forces also lead to the use of magnetic fields to induce electrical currents and the applications of this electromagnetic induction in motors, dynamos and transformers. You will study the manner in which electric and magnetic fields interact to produce a force challenging. You may have difficulty with the right angles and three-dimensional requirements of Fleming’s left-hand rule - your ability to visualise this will impact how you deal with this concept. You may find the action of a commutator difficult to apply in the D.C. motor. The application of changing direction of field in the transformer is found challenging by many students and hence often leads to a superficial grasp of the working of the transformer. Be able to apply the following equations: (HT only)
P4.2a (HT only) Be able to describe how a magnet and a current-carrying conductor exert a force on one another. Demonstration of the jumping wire experiment. P4.2b (HT only) Be able to show that Fleming’s left-hand rule represents the relative orientations of the force, the conductor and the magnetic field P4.2c (HT only) Be able to apply the equation that links the force on a conductor to the magnetic flux density, the current and the length of conductor to calculate the forces involved P4.2d (HT only) Be able to explain how the force exerted from a magnet and a current-carrying conductor is used to cause rotation in electric motors including an understanding of how electric motors work but knowledge of the structure of a motor is not expected.
P4.2e (HT only) Know that a change in the magnetic field around a conductor can give rise to an induced potential difference across its ends, which could drive a current, generating a magnetic field that would oppose the original change.
