Always state units in numerical answers — marks are awarded for correct units.
Speed
Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) / Time (s) Acceleration
a = (v − u) / t (m/s²) v² = u² + 2as
For uniform acceleration (v = final speed, u = initial speed, s = displacement) Newton's 2nd Law
Force (N) = Mass (kg) × Acceleration (m/s²) Weight
Weight (N) = Mass (kg) × Gravitational field strength (N/kg) Pressure
Pressure (Pa) = Force (N) / Area (m²) Moment
Moment (N·m) = Force (N) × Perpendicular distance (m) Work Done
Work (J) = Force (N) × Distance (m) Kinetic Energy
KE = ½ × m × v² Gravitational PE
GPE = m × g × h Power
Power (W) = Energy (J) / Time (s) Efficiency
Efficiency = (Useful energy output / Total energy input) × 100% Ohm's Law
V = I × R (V = voltage, I = current, R = resistance) Power
P = I × V = I²R = V²/R Energy
E = P × t = I × V × t Series circuit
Total R = R₁ + R₂ + ... | Current same everywhere Parallel circuit
1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... | Voltage same across each branch Wave speed
v = f × λ (v = speed, f = frequency, λ = wavelength) Period
T = 1/f Learn word equations and symbol equations for all required reactions.
Moles
n = mass (g) / Mr (relative molecular mass) Concentration
Concentration (mol/dm³) = Moles / Volume (dm³) Gas volume (RTP)
Volume (dm³) = Moles × 24 (at room temperature and pressure) % by mass = (Mass of element in compound / Mr of compound) × 100 % Yield
% Yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 Atom Economy
Atom Economy = (Mr of desired product / Sum of Mr of all products) × 100 Photosynthesis
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ Aerobic respiration
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy Neutralisation
Acid + Base → Salt + Water Combustion (complete)
Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O pH 1–6: acidic | pH 7: neutral | pH 8–14: alkaline. Strong acids/bases have extreme pH values; weak acids/bases have values closer to 7.
Quantitative biology questions appear frequently — know the formulas below.
Magnification = Image size / Actual size Rearranged
Actual size = Image size / Magnification Photosynthesis
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (light energy required) Aerobic respiration
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O (+ ATP energy released) Anaerobic (animals)
Glucose → Lactic acid (+ small amount of ATP) Anaerobic (yeast)
Glucose → Ethanol + CO₂ (fermentation) Population Growth Rate = (Birth rate − Death rate) + (Immigration − Emigration) Water moves by osmosis from high water potential (dilute solution) to low water potential (concentrated solution) through a selectively permeable membrane.
Applied in questions across all three sciences — know these skills well.

Variables kept constant to ensure a fair test Boost your Cambridge exam confidence with these proven study strategies from our tutoring experts.
The double award is examined across both papers. Don't neglect one science — all three contribute equally to your final grade.
In calculation questions, write the formula, substitute values with units, then state the final answer. Marks are available for correct method even if arithmetic is wrong.
Questions on experimental design and analysis appear every year. Know the apparatus, method, and expected results for all required practicals.
Cambridge Coordinated Science questions use real-world scenarios. Practise applying formulas in unfamiliar contexts — not just standard textbook examples.
Quick answers about this free PDF and how to use it for exam revision and active recall.
Yes. This Tutopiya formula sheet is free to use and you can download it as a PDF from this page for offline revision. There is no payment or account required for the PDF download.
This page groups key Coordinated Science formulas in one place for revision. Complete formula sheet for Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Science (0654). Covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology formulas for the double award — all in one quick-reference guide. Always cross-check with your official syllabus and past papers for your exam session.
No. In the exam you must follow only what your exam board allows in the hall—usually the official formula booklet or data sheet where provided. This page is a revision and teaching aid, not a replacement for board-issued materials.
It is written for students preparing for assessments at Secondary in Coordinated Science, including classroom revision, homework support, and independent study. Teachers and tutors can also share it as a quick reference.
Work through past paper questions, quote the correct formula before substituting values, and check units and notation every time. Pair this sheet with timed practice and mark schemes so you see how examiners expect working to be set out.
