IB Physics SL Notes

Physics

Aimnova offers free IB Physics SL revision notes for the first-exams-2025 syllabus, covering all five themes from Space, Time and Motion to Nuclear and Quantum Physics. Each topic includes clear concept explanations, labelled diagrams, worked numerical examples, spaced-repetition flashcards, and IB-style practice questions with AI feedback — no sign-up required to read the notes.

IB Physics SL builds a quantitative model of the physical world across five themes: Space, Time and Motion (kinematics, forces and energy); the Particulate Nature of Matter (thermal physics, ideal gases and electric circuits); Wave Behaviour (oscillations, waves and superposition); Fields (gravitational, electric and magnetic); and Nuclear and Quantum Physics. Every topic pairs the physics with the data-booklet equations examiners expect you to apply.

These notes are organised theme-by-theme according to the official IB syllabus, so you can revise systematically for Paper 1A (multiple choice), Paper 1B (data analysis) and Paper 2 (structured questions). SL students sit no Paper 3 and no options, so the focus stays on mastering the core themes and the experimental skills woven through them.

What's included

  • All 5 themes (A–E) plus experimental skills, aligned to the first-exams-2025 syllabus
  • Concept notes with labelled diagrams, vectors, and field representations
  • Worked numerical examples using the IB data booklet equations
  • Spaced-repetition flashcards for definitions, units, and constants
  • IB-style practice questions with AI marking and feedback
  • Guidance for Paper 1A (MCQ), Paper 1B (data), and Paper 2 (structured)
  • SL and HL coverage with level toggle
  • Free to access — no account required for notes

How to use Physics notes

  1. 1Start with a unit overview. Click any Theme heading to see every topic and the key physics it covers.
  2. 2Read micro-topic notes. Read one topic at a time and follow the concept, the diagram, and the full worked calculation.
  3. 3Test with flashcards. Use Physics flashcards to lock in definitions, SI units, constants, and key equations.
  4. 4Practise exam questions. Apply the method to IB-style questions and get AI feedback on where marks are won and lost.
