  2. The New Unit 1 Physics GCSE Physics changed in 2011 Before 2011, people used to study: Analogue & Digital Signals, Radioactivity + Telescopes But no-one does that in Unit 1 anymore! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After 2011, people now study: Solids, Liquids & Gases, Evaporation & Condensation, Specific Heat Capacity & U-Values, Cost-Effectiveness, Waves, Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction& Sound. But no-one used to do that in Unit 1 in the old days!

  3. The New Unit 1 Physics GCSE Physics changed in 2011 Before 2011, exams were 45 minutes for 45 marks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After 2011, exams are now 60 minutes for 60 marks There is also a new 6 mark question that says: “In this question you will be assessed on using good English, organising information clearly and using specialist terms where appropriate.”

  4. New Unit 1 Physics Tips Compare the advantages and disadvantages of buying compact fluorescent bulbs rather than filament bulbs. [6] Here are some advantages of compact fluorescent bulbs: They are four times more efficient than filament bulbs, they are cheaper to use, they last 8 times longer and they are better for the environment. The disadvantages of compact fluorescent bulbs are: They cost 24 times as much to buy as filament bulbs, disposal is a problem because of their poisonous mercury vapour and they have a shortened lifespan if they are turned on and off very frequently.
