Most of us travel through life giving little thought to the world around us or to questions such as what keeps the sun shining or makes the sky blue. Even fewer of us get to understand why. Physics is the search for knowledge; it is the search for an understanding of the Universe and an attempt to answer the BIG questions. In A-Level Physics there are opportunities for candidates to ● Develop practical skills. ● Practice data-handling skills. ● Increase their understanding of the part that mathematics plays in physics. ● Use their imagination. ● Discover that the world is much weirder than most people imagine. ● Place physics in a social and historical context and argue about the issues that arise. ● Be rewarded for initiative and interest in learning. ● Use information and communication technology. If you are interested in understanding why an apple falls down or the future of Nuclear Power, then you will enjoy A-Level Physics.
40 points in their 9 best GCSE subjects or equivalent qualifications. (Where 9 subjects have not been studied, the school reserves the right to consider entry; this will be dependent on actual exam results, not predictions, and students must still achieve the minimum individual subject requirements.) A minimum of 2 grade 6s in GCSE subjects or grades of the same standard in equivalent qualifications. Grade 6 in every single science to be studied or Grade 6-6 in Combined Science and a grade 6 in Mathematics.
Paper 1 Sections 1-5 and 6.1 (periodic motion) from the syllabus 85 Marks 2 hours. Paper 2 Thermal physics, and sections 7 and 8, with assumed knowledge of paper 1 content 85 Marks 2 hours. Paper 3: Section A: Practical skills and data analysis Section B: Turning points in Physics option 80 Marks 2 hours. Practical endorsement in physics (04) - Non-exam assessment
