Edexcel IGCSE Practical Investigations

Practical investigations are embedded throughout the course. The skills developed through these and other practicals will be assessed through written examinations

Choose your experiment:

Motion - Investigate the motion of everyday objects such as toy cars or tennis balls

Springs - Investigate how extension varies with applied force for helical springs

Rubber Bands - Investigate how extension varies with applied force for rubber bands

Static Electricity - Investigate how insulating materials can be charged by friction

Refraction - Investigate the refraction of light, and the refractive index of glass, using a glass block

Speed of Sound - Investigate the speed of sound in air

Frequency - Investigate the frequency of a sound wave using an oscilloscope

Thermal Transfer - Investigate thermal energy transfer by conduction

Thermal Transfer - Investigate thermal energy transfer by convection

Thermal Transfer - Investigate thermal energy transfer by radiation

Density [FREE] - Investigate density using direct measurements of mass and volume

Change of State - Obtain a temperature–time graph to show the constant temperature during a change of state

SHC [FREE] - Investigate the specific heat capacity of materials including water and some solids

Magnets - Investigate the magnetic field pattern for a permanent bar magnet and between two bar magnets

Radiation - Investigate the penetration powers of different types of radiation using either radioactive sources or simulations
