Everything and anything! If you enjoy scientific experiments and have a passion for discovering how the world around us works, then physics is for you. The laws of physics govern everything from how the stars are born to how photons of light can behave and even how a tiny microcomputer functions. From Isaac Newton to Erwin Schrodinger and his cat, physics has supported many of the fundamental scientific discoveries throughout history - it was a physicist who invented the World Wide Web! Course Content: The course content for the first year will include: Topic 1: Working as a Physicist (covered throughout the course) Topic 2: Mechanics- includes the Newtonian Laws and builds on GCSE concepts of forces and motion Topic 3: Electric Circuits- follows from the GCSE topic of electricity with more in-depth study of Ohm's law Topic 4: Materials Topic 5: Waves and the particle Nature of Light- builds on GCSE knowledge of gravity, wave properties and a more in-depth study of optics In Year 13, the topics covered include: Topic 6: Further mechanics Topic 7: Electric and Magnetic Fields Topic 8: Nuclear and Particle Physics Topic 9: Thermodynamics Topic 10: Space Topic 11: Nuclear Radiation Topic 12: Gravitational Fields Topic 13: Oscillations
● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.
Students' progress is checked at the appropriate points on the timeline. As the course progresses, these become cumulative to improve knowledge retrieval. Summative assessments are in line with the whole school calendar. In addition to these, we have baseline assessments at the start of Y12 and Y13 as well as summative exams as per the whole school calendar. Practical endorsement: Alongside the written assessments, students complete all required and many recommended practical tasks which enhance their understanding and improve their practical skills. All students are required to master 12 groups of practical assessments over their two years of study. Externally, the two-years work will be assessed through three external exams after the second year of study.
