Physics involves the study of the universe. It is essential to our understanding of the world around us and challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and quantum mechanics. The course content is split into six modules: • The course content is split into six modules: • Module one is development of practical skills • Module two covers the foundations of Physics • Module three focuses on forces and motion • Module four studies electrons, waves and photons In year 13 students’ complete module five which is the Newtonian world and astrophysics along with module six which is particles and medical physics. Lessons will incorporate an extensive range of experimental work to enhance the learning experience.
GCSE grades 6-6 in Combined Science or a Grade 6 in Physics (if studied as a separate science) and a GCSE grade 6 in maths. Any student entering the course who is not also studying A Level Mathematics or Statistics will be required to study the Core Maths programme in Year 12.
Your final grade will be based on three exams at the end of year 13: Modelling Physics: 100 marks, 2 hours 15 minutes written paper, 37% of total A level Exploring Physics: 100 marks, 2 hours 15 minutes written paper, 37% of total A level Unified Physics: 70 marks, 1 hour 30 minutes written paper, 26% of total A level A level Practical Endorsement in physics (non-exam assessment). Reported separately as Pass or Fail and will not contribute towards your final grade.
