Save planning time and deliver focused, exam-style revision with this ready-to-use resource for Edexcel GCSE Combined Science Physics – CP4c: Investigating Refraction.
Designed to support core practical knowledge, experimental skills, exam technique and independent revision, this resource gives students repeated exposure to Edexcel-style command words and progressively more challenging questions.
What’s included:
- 10 exam-style questions with progressive difficulty from 1 to 6 marks
- A broad range of Edexcel-style command words, including state, name, identify, give, describe, compare, explain and evaluate
- Coverage of key Investigating Refraction content, including:
- refraction at a boundary
- changes in wave speed and direction
- incident and refracted rays
- the normal
- angle of incidence
- angle of refraction
- using a ray box
- tracing rays through a transparent rectangular block
- measuring angles using a protractor
- identifying variables
- interpreting refraction data
- anomalous results
- accuracy, uncertainty and reliability
- evaluating and improving practical methods - A 6-mark practical evaluation question requiring students to interpret experimental data, identify an anomaly, explain refraction and suggest justified improvements
- A detailed teacher mark scheme written in an Edexcel-style format
- Three differentiated model answers: Working Towards (Grade 4), Secure (Grade 7), Exemplary (Grade 9)
- A clear student-friendly mark scheme suitable for self-assessment, peer marking and independent revision
Ready to print, ready to teach, and designed to reduce teacher workload while developing students’ confidence with practical, data-analysis and exam-style questions.
This resource places particular emphasis on the practical and data-handling skills students need for examination questions, including accurate angle measurement, identifying anomalous results, recognising patterns and explaining how an investigation can be improved.
It is ideal for lesson revision, practical revision, homework, intervention, cover work, retrieval practice, independent study or preparation for Edexcel Combined Science Physics Paper 1.
It can be used as a standalone refraction revision resource or alongside the other resources in this Edexcel Combined Science Physics Waves revision series.
More Waves resources are available, with the complete revision set also available as a discounted bundle.
