Physics - handwritten notes (Coordinated Sciences 0654)

Here are the handwritten notes for Physics 2022 from the CIE IGCSE syllabus for Coordinated Sciences 0654. Similar to the Chemistry notes, you can download these notes chapter-by-chapter by hovering over the upper right-hand corner of each pdf and following its link. 

Let me know if there's anything else you need that could aid your studies.

Enjoy!

Many graphics are from Save My Exams. I do not own these graphics.

*Please excuse the bleeding of some of the highlighted sections in the pdf. I'm not too sure why some highlights lose formatting when I export them out of Goodnotes hmm..
