How this programme works
The whole of KS3 physics in thirteen weeks: energy, forces and motion, then waves, light, electricity, the particle model and space.
13 weeks, one theme each
Every week has a clear focus so you always know what you are working on.
34 lessons
Two or three short lessons a week, each one marking itself as you go.
13 weekly assignments
A mixed set written for that week, so you find out what stuck before you move on.
Two days a week to review
Each week ends with a review day and a rest day, so your streak is safe.
A mentor on hand
Premium members can message their mentor from the top of this page at any time.
A video drop-in every Saturday
At 12:00 UK time, premium members join a live call and ask anything, face to face.
A final review
One longer test across every week at the end. Pass it, or aim for a distinction, and see exactly which weeks to revisit.
A cohort with you
Everyone who enrols starts on the same Monday and shares a leaderboard.
What you will cover
KS3 Physics 1: Energy, fuels and transfers · KS3 Physics 2: Motion and forces · KS3 Physics 3: Pressure, equilibrium and motion · KS3 Physics 4: Waves and sound · KS3 Physics 5: Light · KS3 Physics 6: Electricity and magnetism · KS3 Physics 7: Matter and the particle model · KS3 Physics 8: Space physics

Example lesson: KS3 Physics 1: Energy, fuels and transfers
This is the very first lesson of week 1, open to everyone with an account. It shows how a lesson moves from a short explanation to activities that mark themselves.
