Physics

Assessment

Year 1: - Forces and motion. - Foundation in Physics. - Electrons, photons, and quantum mechanics. - Practical skills in Physics. This will be assessed through two examinations: Modelling (50%) and Exploring (50%). Both examinations cover the foundations of physics, forces and motion, electrons, waves, and photons combined with practical skill questions. Year 2: - Newtonian world and astrophysics. - Particles and Medical Physics. - Practical skills in Physics. This will be assessed through three examinations: Modelling (37%), Exploring (37%), and Unified physics (26%) covering topics from Year 1 with additional studies of the Newtonian World, astrophysics, particle and medical physics combined with practical skill questions.
