This editable Grade 10 MYP Physics assessment is designed for Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding and focuses on Space Physics.

The assessment is marked out of 36 and is structured to support a 60-minute classroom assessment, with approximately 90 seconds allowed per mark. It includes a range of question styles to assess core knowledge, astronomy concepts, space calculations, stellar life cycles, red-shift, Big Bang evidence, and scientific reasoning. The paper is divided into multiple choice, short answer, and extended response sections so that students have different ways to demonstrate their understanding.

What is included:

  • Editable student assessment
  • Full teacher mark scheme
  • Multiple choice section
  • Short answer section
  • Extended response section
  • Criterion A rubric and raw mark conversion table
  • Strand coverage and mark distribution summary
  • Accessibility and differentiation summary
  • Teacher marking guidance

The assessment covers key Grade 10 physics content, including:

  • Order of the planets in the Solar System
  • Light-years as a distance unit
  • Planetary orbital periods
  • Orbital speed calculations
  • Gravity as the centripetal force in planetary orbits
  • Nebulae, protostars, and main sequence stars
  • Stellar life cycles for Sun-like and high-mass stars
  • Red giants, red supergiants, supernovae, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes
  • The Milky Way galaxy
  • Red-shift and galaxy recession
  • Hubble’s Law
  • Cosmic microwave background radiation
  • Evidence for the Big Bang theory
  • Expansion of the universe
  • Common misconceptions about the Big Bang

The resource is fully editable, allowing teachers to adapt the questions, wording, level of challenge, data values, examples, diagrams, content focus, or mark allocation to match their own teaching sequence, class needs, and the specific content delivered in lessons.

A full teacher mark scheme is included to support consistent marking. It provides model answers, acceptable alternatives, calculation guidance, standard form expectations, scientific explanation notes, unit expectations, carried-forward marking, and advice for awarding partial credit. The resource also includes a strand coverage and accessibility summary, showing how the assessment is structured to give students a fair opportunity to access the paper, interpret astronomical evidence, apply space physics calculations, demonstrate their understanding, and receive the mark they deserve.

This resource is suitable for an end-of-unit assessment, revision test, common assessment, classroom exam, or adapted MYP Grade 10 Physics Criterion A assessment.

MYP Grade 10 Physics: 7 Unit Exams & End-of-Year Exam Bundle - 2026

This editable MYP Grade 10 Physics assessment bundle provides a complete set of Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding exams for the main Grade 10 Physics units, plus a cumulative end-of-year exam. ***Save an additional 25% with this bundle*** The bundle includes seven topic assessments and one year-end cumulative assessment. The individual topic exams are marked out of 36 and are designed for a 60-minute assessment format, with approximately 90 seconds allowed per mark. The cumulative exam can be used as an end-of-year assessment, revision exam, or common classroom examination across the full Grade 10 Physics course. **What is included:** Unit 1: Forces and Motion Unit 2: Energy Unit 3: Waves Unit 4: Electricity Unit 5: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Unit 6: Matter and Thermal Physics Unit 7: Space Physics End-of-Year Cumulative Exam * Editable student assessments * Full teacher mark schemes * Multiple choice sections * Short answer sections * Extended response sections * Criterion A rubrics * Raw mark to achievement level conversion tables * Unit and strand coverage summaries * Accessibility and differentiation summaries * Teacher marking guidance The assessments cover key Grade 10 Physics content, including motion graphs, scalar and vector quantities, Newton’s Laws, forces, terminal velocity, energy stores and transfers, work done, power, efficiency, conservation of energy, waves, reflection, refraction, diffraction, the electromagnetic spectrum, circuits, Ohm’s Law, series and parallel circuits, domestic electricity, electromagnetism, transformers, the National Grid, matter, density, pressure, thermal energy transfer, specific heat capacity, latent heat, stellar life cycles, red-shift, and Big Bang evidence. The resource is fully editable, allowing teachers to adapt the questions, wording, level of challenge, mark allocation, calculation values, diagrams, data sets, examples, and content focus to match their own teaching sequence, school expectations, and the specific Physics content delivered in class. Each assessment includes a full teacher mark scheme to support consistent marking. The mark schemes provide model answers, acceptable alternatives, calculation guidance, graph and diagram marking guidance, unit expectations, carried-forward marking, partial credit guidance, and teacher notes for awarding marks consistently. The included summaries show how the questions are structured across Criterion A strands, helping teachers see how students are given different opportunities to access the paper, show their working, apply physics equations, interpret data and diagrams, explain scientific ideas, and receive the mark they deserve. This bundle is suitable for end-of-topic assessments, common assessments, revision tests, mock exams, cumulative review, or a full Grade 10 Physics assessment programme across the academic year.
