296 lessons across 15 units
This is the complete topic map for the Edexcel GCSE Physics course — every unit and topic from the specification in one place: 296 lessons across 15 units, from Topic 1 Key concepts of physics to Topic 15 Forces and matter. Each topic below opens a focused revision lesson, so revision can start from the course as the exam board organises it — not from a guess about what might come up.
The course is organised into 15 units: Topic 1 Key concepts of physics (4 lessons), Topic 2 Motion and forces (33 lessons), Topic 3 Conservation of energy (14 lessons), Topic 4 Waves (17 lessons), Topic 5 Light and EM spectrum (24 lessons), Topic 6 Radioactivity (46 lessons), Topic 7 Astronomy (19 lessons), Topic 8 Energy - forces doing work (15 lessons), Topic 9 Forces and their effects (10 lessons), Topic 10 Electricity and circuits (42 lessons), Topic 11 Static electricity (10 lessons), Topic 12 Magnetism and the motor effect (14 lessons), Topic 13 Electromagnetic induction (11 lessons), Topic 14 Particle model (20 lessons) and Topic 15 Forces and matter (17 lessons). Together that's 296 lessons — the whole course, with nothing skipped and nothing added.
Little and often beats cramming. One topic a night, done properly — read it, try the questions, check yourself — moves a grade more than a weekend binge the week before the exam. The list above is deliberately complete so you can tick through it a topic at a time.
Start from what's coming up, not from the beginning. If a class test or mock is near, open the unit it covers and work through those topics first. Between assessments, work through units in order — later topics usually build on earlier ones.
For parents:you don't need to know the subject to help. Ask which topic tonight's lesson was, open it here, and let them teach it back to you — explaining something out loud is one of the most effective revision techniques there is. Signed-in students see ticks appear on this page as topics are completed, so progress through the course is visible at a glance.
