Part of the Eduqas GCSE Combined Science curriculum.
Eduqas GCSE Combined Science Topic 9 Atomic Physics is a step-by-step online learn guide for GCSE students in Years 10 and 11, mapped to the Eduqas specification (Eduqas GCSE (9–1) Combined Science (C430) – Concepts in Physics, Topic 9: Atomic physics). It covers the structure of the atom, developing the model of the atom, isotopes and nuclear notation, alpha, beta and gamma radiation, nuclear equations, half-life and irradiation and contamination, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and exam practice.
There are 23 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 6 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Nucleus, Proton, Plum pudding model, Alpha scattering, Atomic number, Mass number, Alpha particle, Beta particle, Nuclear equation, Alpha decay, Half-life and Random.
