A comprehensive guide to key physics and chemistry concepts for young students, covering particle behavior, energy stores, and... Show more
This page focuses on different types of energy stores and how energy is transferred between them, providing essential information for understanding energy stores and transfers in science GCSE.
Types of Energy Stores The page lists and explains various energy stores
Definition Thermal energy is stored in all objects, with higher temperatures indicating more stored energy.
Vocabulary Kinetic energy is associated with movement.
Example Food and fuel are examples of chemical energy stores that release energy through chemical reactions.
Definition This is the energy stored in objects within a gravitational field, capable of being released when the object falls.
Example Stretched springs store elastic potential energy.
Definition Energy stored in electric charges that attract or repel each other.
Example Magnets that attract or repel each other store magnetic energy.
Energy Transfers Between Stores The page illustrates several examples of energy transfers
Highlight Energy transfers from gravitational potential store to kinetic store.
Example Chemical energy store in fuel transfers to thermal energy store in surroundings.
Highlight Elastic potential energy store transfers to kinetic energy store.
Example Chemical energy store in a battery transfers to kinetic energy store in the motor and thermal energy store in the surroundings.
Highlight Understanding these energy stores and transfers examples is crucial for GCSE Physics and provides a foundation for more complex energy concepts.
This page delves into the behavior of particles in different states of matter and explores the processes of state changes. It also introduces the concepts of dissolving and pressure.
Solid State In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions due to strong forces of attraction.
Highlight Solid particles have limited movement and are held tightly together.
Liquid State Liquid particles flow and move past each other with more freedom than solids.
Vocabulary Liquid particles have weaker forces of attraction compared to solids, allowing for greater movement.
Gas State Gas particles move freely with weak forces of attraction between them.
Example The movement of particles in solid, liquid and gas states can be visualized as solid (vibrating in place), liquid (flowing), and gas (moving randomly).
Changes of State The page illustrates various state changes
Definition Particle arrangement of liquid is less ordered than solids but more constrained than gases.
Dissolving The process of dissolving is explained, introducing terms like solute, solvent, and solution.
Highlight Hot water dissolves solutes faster due to increased particle movement.
Pressure Pressure is related to temperature and volume. Increasing temperature or reducing volume leads to increased pressure.
Example In a closed container, heating a gas or reducing its volume will increase the pressure as particles collide more frequently with the container walls.
Pure and Impure Substances The page concludes by differentiating between pure and impure substances.
Definition Pure substances have fixed melting and boiling points, while impure substances have a range of melting and boiling points.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
