Summary

With thorough classroom support, the updated Complete Physics for Cambridge IGCSERG Teacher's Resource Pack gives you everything you need to teach the Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus.
The printed Teacher's Guide provides extensive lesson ideas and resources to save you time - including outlines of practicals (with apparatus lists, instructions and questions) and worksheets that can be used in class or for independent study. To support your lesson planning, we have included model lesson plans for the most challenging topics, and best practice planning advice from experienced teachers.
The Teacher's CD provides customisable versions of all worksheets, practicals and lesson plans so that you can make them relevant to your classroom. The CD also offers test assessments and trial exam papers so you can ensure your students are ready for assessment. Animations and PowerPoints will help you to present key diagrams and concepts and bring the subject to life in your classroom.
