    • The Universe - OCR Gateway

      Theories about the Universe's development, such as the Big Bang theory, are based on astronomical observations such as red-shift and cosmic microwave background radiation.

    • The Solar System, orbital motion and stars - OCR Gateway

      The Sun is a relatively small star when compared to other stars in the Universe. The Solar System contains the Sun and everything that orbits it.

    • Uses of waves and electromagnetic radiation - OCR Gateway

      All objects emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation, which is essential for life on Earth. Waves can be used to probe inside the Earth to examine its internal structure.

    • Sample exam questions - global challenges - OCR Gateway

      Understanding how to approach exam questions helps boost exam performance. Questions will include multiple choice, descriptions and explanations, using mathematical skills and extended writing.
