How to revise GCSE physics with flashcards

Most students preparing for GCSE physics end up with pages of notes and no quick way to test themselves on the equations, units and definitions. A set of GCSE physics revision flashcards built from your own lessons solves that problem, because every card reflects what your class actually covered.

Upload your own class slides, notes and textbook photos instead of generic lists.
Spaced repetition schedules the physics cards you are most likely to forget.
Create cards for equations, units, definitions and required practical steps.
Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan if you want to keep studying elsewhere.

Example GCSE physics flashcards on forces and energy

What is Newton's second law?Force equals mass times acceleration (F = m × a), so a larger force gives a larger acceleration for the same mass.

What is the equation for kinetic energy?Kinetic energy = ½ × mass × velocity squared (KE = ½mv²), so doubling the speed quadruples the energy.

What is the unit of electrical resistance?The ohm (Ω), which equals one volt per ampere.

What is the wave equation?Wave speed = frequency × wavelength (v = f × λ), so a higher frequency at the same speed means a shorter wavelength.

What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?A scalar has magnitude only, such as speed; a vector has magnitude and direction, such as velocity.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents, plain notes or photos of pages. The flashcards follow your course, not a generic list.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner and easy ones less often, so you spend your time on the physics you still need to learn.

Study anywhere

Study in the browser on the Free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export if you want to take your cards somewhere else.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of a page from your GCSE physics course.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards against your teacher's specification and remove or edit any that need changing.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck daily. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you are most likely to forget.

Good physics cards test one idea each. Put the quantity or term on the front and the definition, equation with units, or working step on the back. Mixing topics in one deck, such as forces, electricity and waves, keeps you recalling the right method rather than repeating the last topic you studied.

Use the cards in short sessions and say each answer aloud or write it out before you flip the card. Rework any card you get wrong, and come back to past papers once the cards feel easy so you can apply the formulas under exam conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GCSE physics?

Aim for one card per key term, equation or required practical step, then add extra cards for the points you keep missing. Short cards that test one idea work better than long ones.

How do I learn physics equations with flashcards?

Put the equation name or quantity on the front and the formula with units on the back. Try to write the answer from memory before you flip the card, and practice rearranging each formula for every variable.

Can I export my physics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month but does not include exports.

Does DeckOwl work from photos of my textbook?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a phone picture of a textbook page can become flashcards. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
