When you decide to study Physics with us at Stratford Upon Avon School you will be committing to discovering not only the fundamental underpinning reasons for every aspect of how our universe functions but also to developing a method of thinking, questioning, and problem-solving that will allow you to continue pushing your understanding of the physical world long after you’ve stopped directly studying. Have you ever wondered? • Where lightning comes from? • Why does the standby light on a computer or TV stay on for a few seconds after it’s been turned off? • Why is the sky blue? • Why is the earth round and not square? • How can you catch a cricket ball without breaking your fingers? • How do we know what the sun is made of? • What is light? • What has Stephen Hawking been talking about for the past 40 years? • Why are black holes black? Subject Specification Outline: 1. Measurements and their errors 2. Particles and radiation 3. Waves 4. Mechanics and materials 5. Electricity 6. Further mechanics and thermal physics 7. Fields and their consequences 8. Nuclear physics 9. Option Module either Engineering or Astrophysics The fundamental skills, experimental working methods, and modes of thinking required to succeed at level physics. The mix of topics will allow students to cover both the breadth and depth of Physics. From the very large-scale explanations of how a galaxy orbits a supermassive black hole, to the mechanics by which the crumple zones in cars dissipate energy, to the counterintuitive quantum model of symmetrical behavior.Even more exciting than physics is identifying the common links and underlying fundamental laws of physics underpinning everything. If nothing else the structure of the course will allow students to be the people at the dinner party who understand what Brian is talking.
