IB Physics SL & HL Syllabus

What You'll Learn

📏

Measurements & Uncertainties

SI units, significant figures, uncertainties in measurement, error propagation, and graphical analysis techniques.

🚀

Mechanics

Kinematics, forces, work/energy/power, momentum, and impulse. HL adds rotational dynamics and angular momentum.

🌡️

Thermal Physics

Temperature, heat transfer, ideal gases, and the first law of thermodynamics. HL extends to entropy and the second law.

🌊

Waves

Oscillations, travelling waves, wave characteristics, superposition, standing waves, and the Doppler effect.

Electricity & Magnetism

Electric fields, circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic induction. HL covers capacitance and AC circuits.

⚛️

Atomic & Nuclear Physics

Atomic structure, radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, and particle physics. HL adds quantum and nuclear physics.

Our Approach

How We Help You Succeed in IB Physics

1

Data Booklet Mastery

We train you to use the data booklet as a strategic tool, not just a formula sheet. Knowing what is given saves time and avoids errors.

2

Conceptual Foundations

Physics is about understanding, not memorising. We build your intuition so you can reason through unfamiliar problems.

3

Past Paper Drilling

We work through past papers systematically, teaching you the examiner's marking scheme language.

4

Lab & IA Support

We guide you through experimental design, data analysis, and writing up your Internal Assessment to maximise marks.
