AS topics: Measurements and errors Mechanics and materials Electricity Waves Particles EM radiation and Quantum mechanics AS goes from the most concrete to the most abstract. We start with mechanics and materials. While some questions may be mathematically challenging – much of it is familiar from GCSE Physics and is an extension of it. Following this, students study electricity, then waves. Students finish AS study studying sub-atomic particles, then finish with EM radiation and quantum mechanics – the most abstract topics. It is essential to cover waves before doing EM radiation and quantum as this includes wave-particle duality. A Level topics: Circular motion & simple harmonic motion Gravitational fields Electric fields Magnetic fields Thermal physics Ideal gases and Kinetic theory Nuclear Physics Optional topic A Level generally starts of with the more concrete concepts in further mechanics such as circular motion and simple harmonic motion, moving towards the more abstract and conceptually challenging topics such as magnetic fields and nuclear physics. The optional topic is taught last so that there is only divergence in the material taught at the end of the academic year. We are lucky to be able to provide most students a choice of optional topics to study. The choices offered are Turning points in Physics, Engineering, and Astrophysics.
