Lesson cards Each skill starts with a teaching card, then moves into a focused question block. These cards keep the topic learnable before the quiz pressure arrives.
End-topic quizPaper 1
Density and states Simple explanation
Density equals mass divided by volume.
Analogy or example
A liquid becomes a gas when particles have enough energy to separate.
Misconception trap
Particles expand when a substance expands.
Real-world relevance
Density and states connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.
Vocabulary check
density, states, equals, mass, divided
Paper 1
Specific heat capacity Simple explanation
Specific heat capacity is energy needed to raise 1 kg by 1 degree Celsius.
Analogy or example
Water needs a large energy transfer for a small temperature rise.
Misconception trap
Specific heat capacity is the same for every material.
Real-world relevance
Specific heat capacity connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.
Vocabulary check
specific, heat, capacity, energy, needed
Paper 1
Internal energy and changes of state Simple explanation
Internal energy and changes of state sits inside Particle Model, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.
Analogy or example
For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.
Misconception trap
Internal energy and changes of state can be confused with nearby Particle Model ideas.
Real-world relevance
Internal energy and changes of state connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.
Vocabulary check
internal, energy, changes, state, sits
Paper 1
Specific latent heat Simple explanation
Specific latent heat sits inside Particle Model, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.
Analogy or example
For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.
Misconception trap
Specific latent heat can be confused with nearby Particle Model ideas.
Real-world relevance
Specific latent heat connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.
Vocabulary check
specific, latent, heat, sits, inside
Paper 1
Gas pressure [Triple Only] Simple explanation
Gas pressure [Triple Only] sits inside Particle Model, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.
Analogy or example
For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.
Misconception trap
Gas pressure [Triple Only] can be confused with nearby Particle Model ideas.
Real-world relevance
Gas pressure [Triple Only] connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.
Vocabulary check
pressure, triple, only, sits, inside
