GCSE Physics practicals

Simulations of the nine prescribed practicals in the CCEA GCSE Physics specification. Take readings, record them in a results table, then plot and analyse them. Sign in with your Kredits teacher code on any practical to save readings and download them as CSV.

Unit 1 Motion, force, moments, energy, density

• P1 Motion on an inclined runwayRelease a ball from different heights and time it over 80 cm. Open
• P2 Hooke's lawLoad a spring and find its spring constant from a graph. Open
• P3 Principle of momentsBalance a metre rule and compare the moments on each side. Open
• P4 Density of liquids and solidsMeasure mass and volume, using displacement for a solid. Open
• P5 Personal powerTime a climb up a flight of stairs and work out your power. Open

Unit 2 Waves, light, electricity, magnetism

• P6 Refraction of lightMeasure angles of refraction through a transparent block. Open
• P7 Ohm's lawMeasure current and voltage for a wire kept at a steady temperature. Open
• P8 Resistance and length of a wireMeasure how the resistance of a wire depends on its length. Open
• P9 Strength of an electromagnetTest how current, turns and core material change an electromagnet. Open
