Run the physics.
Interactive simulations model the relationships in AQA’s apparatus set-up guides. Explore the apparatus, run the experiment, collect repeat readings, analyse uncertainty and practise the exam skills that sit behind each required practical.

Skills hub
Use AQA’s apparatus and techniques alongside CPAC habits: follow procedures, use equipment methodically, work safely, record observations accurately and process/report evidence.
Quiz studio
Questions are drawn from all 12 practicals, including apparatus, graph choice, uncertainty and evaluation.
Equation practice
Practise the relationships most often used when processing required-practical data.
Circuit lab
Explore the circuit relationships used in practicals 5, 6 and 9. This virtual board uses low-voltage educational models.
