Physics

Course summary

Physicists have imaginative yet logical minds and face problem solving tasks involving the application of physical principles and mathematical calculations, as well as meeting concepts which challenge our assumptions about the physical world. Physics is not a fixed body of knowledge to be learned, but a challenging collection of theories and practices with vital implications for our technological future. It will help provide solutions to the problems of managing our planet's resources. At Guiseley School we will follow the AQA syllabus as outlined below. This syllabus will extend and broaden the concepts covered in GCSE Physics and involve a 40% mathematical content.
