Revision resources for Physics

AQA
Edexcel Past papers from gcseguide.co.uk. Every question paper
OCR and associated mark scheme that is currently available.

Gorillaphysics.com - A mix of resources and really well explained. Aimed more at the higher papers.

Physicsandmathstutor.com (focuses on AQA, but the overlap with other boards is huge)

Mathsmadeeasy.co.uk (focuses on OCR, but again, see above.) The majority of the content is free.

Revisionscience.com (not board specific)

Freesciencelessons.co.uk - Videos for all topics. As the name suggests, all are free!

GCSEphysicsninja.com - there is lots of paid content here, but also lots of free videos.

Youtube - the entire AQA 9-1 GCSE physics course in 2 hours!

S-cool.co.uk - Loads of free content once you’ve created an account

Senecalearning.com - even if the school don’t have an account, there’s a lot of great free resources

Revisionworld.com If you look hard enough, the info is broken down by exam board.

Passmyexams.co.uk - Really good resources!

GCSEscience.com - dated 2016, but the majority of topics don’t change

Savemyexams.co.uk - lots of free content, but also payment option to get full access

Scienceskool.co.uk - Lots of AQA past papers but 95% still relevant to all exam boards.

Physics Online - Youtube channel. Lots of free content and available by exam board.

Mysciencegcse Youtube channel - Awesome for all three sciences.

AQA Electricity topic all done in 12 minutes- YouTube video

AQA Energy topic in 7 minutes - YouTube video Good for all subjects:

AQA Space physics in 9 minutes - YouTube video Bitesize

AQA Waves topic in 19 minutes - YouTube video Quizlet

SAM Learning *
AQA Particle model topic in 9 minutes - Youtube video
GCSEPod *
Mysciencegcse Edexcel physics playlist
*(school subscription required)
Mysciencegcse OCR physics playlist

Mysciencegcse AQA Playlist

Cognito on youtube has a large range of videos covering the 3 sciences.

Educationquizzes.com has a huge range of physics multi choice questions and answers

Thescienceteacher.co.uk - this is more of a learning website than revision.
