This
book aims to cover all the GCSE Physics material needed to meet
the specifications of the examining boards Edexcel, AQA, WJEC and
OCR (both 21st Century Science and Gateway) both for single and
double awards. The content also covers the additional topics necessary
for the Physics GCSE single award. It is the third book in the series
following ‘Biology at a Glance’ and ‘Chemistry at a Glance’ and
it encourages learners to use a mind mapping approach to revision.
Just like the other books in the series, each page contains clear
annotated illustrations that will help the reader to assimilate
the facts quickly and commit them to memory.
The book covers force and energy, energy and its transfer (including
waves, electrical and thermal energy), electromagnetism and radioactivity.
It goes on to describe a wide range of the practical applications
of physics and concludes with material on our place in the universe.
To comply with the latest GCSE specifications, ‘How Science Works’
permeates all aspects of the book which also provides questions
on all the topics covered, to reinforce
skills and understanding.
Short Contents: FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS: Forces and Motion,
Energy. TRANSFER OF ENERGY: Waves, Electrical Energy, Magnetic Fields,
Thermal Energy, Radioactivity. APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICS: The Supply
and Use of Electrical Energy, Transport, Waves & Communications,
Radioactivity, Our Place in the Universe. APPENDICES: Formulae,
Circuit Symbols, Index.
