During year 12, students will study two units, building on concepts of motion, forces, energy, waves and electricity from GCSE. Students will use trigonometry and vectors to express motion in 2D situations and link this with projectile motion. They will gain a more in-depth understanding of Newton’s laws. They will look at conservation of energy and the changes of both kinetic and potential energy. Students will investigate material science in both solids and liquids. In the waves topic they will look more closely at how waves interact with each other (interference) and how they change when they pass through objects (refraction and diffraction). During this topic they will investigate for the first time the particle nature of light and uses in chemical analysis. In the electricity topic the focus will be on resistivity and the idea of internal resistance of power cells. Year 13 builds on these topics where students will study two further units. There is no coursework and mathematical questions will comprise 40% of the exam paper.
6 grade 5-9 passes including 5 or higher English Lang AND Math GCSE 6-6 or above in GCSE Dbl Science or 6 in Physics & taking AS Math
