This is an essential course for anyone interested in finding out about the world around them. The course looks at and connects the following topics: Newtonian mechanics, energy, electricity, magnetism, photons, quantum universe, cosmology, nuclear, medical, thermal, and particle physics. Units covered in Year 12 • Forces and Motion • Foundation in Physics • Electrons, Photons and Quantum Mechanics • Practical skills in Physics Additional units covered in Year 13 • Newtonian world and Astrophysics • Particles and Medical Physics • Practical skills in Physics
At least 5 subjects at grade 4-9/L2P-D* including: Grade 6 in Science Grade 6 in Physics or 6/6 in Combined Science Grade 6 in Maths Grade 5 in English
The teaching of practical skills is integrated with the theoretical topics. You will be externally assessed through written papers set by OCR. Your teacher will also assess you for the Practical Endorsement, for which you will carry out a minimum of 12 tasks during the course.
