Welcome to this upcoming course for
G.C.S.E Physics – 5054. The syllabus is categorized in 26 Chapters and the
topics are explained in different lectures. The aim of the course is to develop
crucial physics concepts in young learners. The content of the course is according to 5054 – G.C.S.E O’ Levels
Physics syllabus, but since it is a basic level course, most of the topics will
help school and college students from different academic systems. The lectures
have therefore been named so that searching becomes easy and save time. So even
if you are not following the 5054 – G.C.S.E O’ Levels Physics syllabus, you can
still find lots of physics concepts here. The lectures are comprehensively
composed & hope to serve well. Plus, you can always comment to ask
more & I will only be too happy to answer & also
create on-demand content if needed. The material is good for students new to
chemistry as well as those who want to revise it.
Following is the table of content. I will be
posting lectures accordingly and linking the topic of the lecture to its post.
I also plan to make video lectures filled with graphics and animations to make concepts
visually memorable to young learners and enhance their learning experience. So keep checking the blog for new updates.
