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 quiz

Paper 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
