Igcse I Orientation: Physics (0625)

1. The document outlines the objectives and topics covered in the Cambridge IGCSE Physics course, which aims to increase students' understanding of scientific and technological concepts while developing skills like objectivity and concern for precision. 2. The topics covered in the IGCSE Physics course include general physics, thermal physics, properties of waves, electricity and magnetism, atomic physics, and space physics. The first two topics will be covered in IGCSE I, with the remaining topics addressed in subsequent years. 3. Assessment for the extended course includes multiple choice and theory papers, as well as an alternative to the practical test paper. Possible subject combinations are also listed, along with career prospects in physics and recommendations for success

Objectives of Physics
 Cambridge IGCSE Physics enables learners to:
• Increase their understanding of the technological world.
• Take an informed interest in scientific matters.
• Recognise the usefulness (and limitations) of scientific method, and how to apply
this to other disciplines and in everyday life.
• Develop relevant attitudes, such as a concern for accuracy and precision,
objectivity, integrity, enquiry and initiative.
• Develop an interest in, and care for, the environment.
• Better understand the influence and limitations placed on scientific study by society,
economy, technology, ethics, the community and the environment.
• Develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for both further study and
everyday life.
Topics to be covered

 Students will study the following topics:


1 General physics
2 Thermal physics
3 Properties of waves, including light and sound
4 Electricity and magnetism
5 Atomic physics
