This course takes two approaches to the teaching of Physics. It covers the basic principles, the content, and then applies it to real uses of Physics. For example, the electricity content may be applied to satellite technology and material science is applied to the sweet industry. This course employs the use of practical investigations and the analysis of data. Pupils are supplied with an ISP (individual study plan) which guides them through the course. Tasks are differentiated with YouTube videos containing solutions to the tasks to allow independent learning.
5 A* to C GCSE grades including English and Maths. Students should have a 7 or above in GCSE Physics and a 6 or above in Maths.
Pupils will be assessed through three exams at the end of Year 13. Two of these exams will count for 30% of the course, each 1 hour 45 long, and one will count for 40% which is 2 hours 30 mins in length. There is no longer a coursework element; however pupils will need to complete at least 6 core practical's in each of the two years to count towards a practical skills qualification.
