Interactive learning
Use diagrams to connect ideas: for example, compare the particle model of a solid with a gas.

Inside the learning
Engaging lessons. Meaningful practice.
A varied approach that gives students ways to explore, practise and check their understanding.
Exam question practice
Identify the useful information in a question, choose a relationship and show the working.
Mini assessments
A quick units question can reveal whether the calculation makes sense, not just whether it is correct.
Mark scheme guidance
Review the relationship, substitution and units in an answer. Official mark schemes vary by question.
Try a science question
How fast is the walker travelling?
A walker travels 120 metres in 60 seconds. Calculate their average speed.
- Distance
- 120 m
- Time
- 60 s
Illustrative worked example · Not an exam-board question
A useful way to approach it
- 1. Identify the distance and the time.
- 2. Choose the relationship between them.
- 3. Calculate, then explain the units.
Average speed = distance ÷ time
120 ÷ 60 = 2 m/s
The walker covers an average of 2 metres each second. This does not mean their speed was constant throughout the walk.
The units matter: metres divided by seconds gives metres per second.
