The following sample pages are a selection from the AS Implementation and Assessment Guide for Teachers and
Technicians supporting Unit 1, Topic 1 Physics on the go, of the AS Student Book.
Student Sheets are photocopiable student worksheets for all core practicals helping students develop practical science skills.
Teacher Notes support the practical elements of the course. Teacher demonstrations for each topic are clearly explained as
well as teacher guidance for each of the student practical experiments.
Technician Notes help in preparing for class activities to make classroom organisation simple and efficient. Technician Notes
support both teacher demonstrations and student practicals.
Unit tests use genuine Edexcel past papers to help with progress monitoring and exam preparation.
Unit test answers are provided for every test in the book to make marking easy. Answers are also provided for every
question in the book.
