✦ Synopsis

This series is endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education to support the full syllabus for examination from 2023.

Improve scientific enquiry and practical skills with suggested key experiments and simple, structured guidance.

The Practical Skills Workbook provides additional support for the accompanying Cambridge IGCSE™ Physics Textbook.

- Become accomplished scientists: the workbook provides a series of investigations with step-by-step guidance which leads you through the method and the use of apparatus, complete with safety notes.

- Improve the quality of written work: guidance, prompts and write in frames provided throughout to help you record your observations, interpret data and evaluate the experiment.

- Develop understanding and build confidence: plenty of exam-style questions are provided for preparation for practical exams or alternatives, whilst 'Going Further' questions encourage you to stretch yourself.
