IGCSE Physics (0625)

Structured Physics support that develops conceptual understanding, quantitative reasoning, practical skills and confident application of the scientific method.

Grades 7–10Cambridge 0625 pathwayScience

Connect Physical Principles With Evidence and Calculation

Cambridge IGCSE Physics develops scientific knowledge alongside transferable skills in data handling, practical problem-solving and the scientific method. Students learn to connect physical principles, mathematical relationships, observations and evidence.

Vairavan Academy supports students through clear conceptual explanation, diagrams, quantitative work, experimental reasoning, board-style questions and detailed feedback on scientific communication.

Syllabus overview

Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) develops transferable scientific skills including handling data, solving practical problems and applying the scientific method. It also builds the accuracy, objectivity, integrity, enquiry, initiative and inventiveness needed for further study or employment.

  • Develop secure knowledge of physical phenomena, concepts, laws and theories
  • Handle scientific data and apply evidence to unfamiliar problems
  • Build practical problem-solving and experimental investigation skills
  • Use scientific methods with accuracy, precision and objectivity
  • Communicate physical explanations using appropriate terminology, symbols and units
  • Develop the scientific skills needed for further study and future work

What IGCSE Physics aims to develop

These aims describe the purposes of Cambridge IGCSE Physics and can be developed through local, international or historical examples and collaborative practical work.

  • Acquire scientific knowledge and understand scientific theories and practice
