Studying Physics develops your ability to analyse and solve problems theoretically and practically in many situations. It develops your ability to comprehend and communicate ideas orally and in writing and enables you to translate information to and from prose, graphs, numerical data and diagrams. A Level Physics is a good preparation for nearly every career because it teaches you to think clearly and analytically. The new specification is divided into topics covering the key theories of Physics. Year 1 Key Learning: In Year 1 students will examine physical measurement, classical mechanics, circuits, particle physics, waves, and quantum phenomena. Year 2 Key Learning: In Year 2 students delve deeper into Physics, examining simple harmonic motion, fields, thermal physics, nuclear processes and astrophysics. Practical work: This is embedded in the teaching approach, generally once per week in Year 12 and Year 13.
