Today was all about speed-time and distance-time graphs. It does move a little beyond GCSE but not by much. Make sure you are happy with the basic and can answer the questions. There are some good resources at http://www.absorblearning.com/advancedphysics/contents.html (a range of topics with clicky buttons) and http://map.mathshell.org.uk/materials/download.php?fileid=667 (it’s a teaching recourse but stuff to do and the mistakes most often made).
If you would like to see an application and a glimps into the future http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-physics/using-speed-time-graphs-find-equation.
