Physics Syllabus 0653 Syllabus The official CIE syllabus can be found here.  It is best to always refer to the original syllabus.   P1. Motion, forces and energy 1.1 Physical quantities and measurement techniques ·        Describe the use of rulers and measuring cylinders to find a length or a volume ·        Describe how to measure a variety of time intervals using clocks and digital timers ·        Determine an average value for a small distance and for a short interval of time by measuring multiples (including the period of oscillation of a pendulum)   1.2 Motion ·        Define speed as distance travelled per unit time; recall and use the equation v = s/ t ·        Recall and use the equation average speed = total distance travelled/ total time taken ·        Sketch, plot and interpret distance–time and speed–time graphs ·        Know that an object moving with increasing speed is accelerating, and that an object moving with decreasing speed is decel
