AQA GCSE Physics Revision
AQA GCSE Physics covers energy, electricity, particle model of matter, atomic structure, forces, waves, magnetism and electromagnetism, and space physics. It is examined across two written papers with a mix of multiple-choice, short-answer, calculation and extended questions.
This page collects every Physics topic in Recall so you can revise the AQA syllabus in the order that suits you. Each topic page comes pre-loaded with clear notes, turn them into flashcards, multiple-choice quizzes or exam-style questions in a single click.
AQA Physics rewards confident equation work: recall the equation, rearrange it, substitute with units and give the answer to a sensible precision. Use the generator to drill equations and practise the extended explanations that carry the top marks.

AQA Physics FAQs
How many papers are there in AQA GCSE Physics?+
AQA GCSE Physics is assessed by two written papers at the end of the course. Paper 1 covers energy, electricity, the particle model and atomic structure; Paper 2 covers forces, waves, magnetism and space physics.
Do I need to learn the required practicals for AQA Physics?+
Yes. AQA names a set of required practicals (e.g. specific heat capacity, resistance, density, force and extension, waves, radiation and absorption). Questions about the method, control variables and analysis appear on both papers.
Do I have to memorise all the physics equations?+
You are given a formula sheet in the exam, but some equations must still be recalled, and you must be able to rearrange and apply any of them. Regular retrieval practice on the equations is one of the most effective revision habits for physics.
