Physics
Why choose to study Physics?
I enjoy and appreciate the laws of nature and I am interested in finding out more about the universe. I want to develop my practical skills and develop my problem-solving ability. I am interested in finding out about subatomic particles, energy, light, laws of motion, space, gravity, electricity, and electromagnetism.
What study skills do I need?
I will need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures.
I will need to apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures:
- in a theoretical context
- in a practical context
- when handling qualitative data
- when handling quantitative data
I will be expected to analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence, in order to:
- make judgements and reach conclusions.
- develop and refine practical design and procedures.
What are the aims of the course?
To inspire students, to nurture their passion for the subject and lay the foundations for further study and the workplace. The context of the course and its applications aims to bring physics to life in a way that is relevant to the modern world. Practical work, like in other Sciences, is at the heart of Physics and the required practical activities will give students the opportunity to embed their skills and knowledge. The A-level practicals ensure that students are able to access the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC) requirements of the course.
What are the GCSE requirements?
You need to have acquired a minimum of 7 in Physics Triple Science or a 7 in the Physics component of the Double Science. You will need at least a 7 in Maths and a 7 in English.
Course content
The course is divided into the following topics:
- Measurements and their errors
