We are all born with the urge to understand the world around us. One of the first words we learn to say is ‘Why?’ and then, a little later ‘How?’ So you have probably asked in your time ‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘How does a mobile phone work?’, ‘How does the Sun keep on shining?’, ‘What is dark matter?’ amongst other questions. If you find that the more answers you are given, the more questions you want to ask, then you could well be a physicist in the making and you should certainly consider studying Physics at A Level. Physics opens doors to a wider range of careers than almost any other subject. So if you are ambitious, if you enjoy a challenge and solving problems, Physics could be the right choice for you. How to take an inquisitive look at the world and apply the scientific method to fundamentally explain how things work. Physics is both theoretical and experimental and we use both processes to make sense of observations we make.
Grade 6 or above in Physics and 1 other science (or Grade 6,6 or above in combined science) plus Grade 6 in Maths
This course is assessed using terminal examination and Non-Examined Assessment Paper 1: Written Examination 2 Hours 34% 60 mark questions from Chapters 1-5 and 25 multiple choice questions based around Measurements and their errors, particles and radiation, waves, mechanics and materials, and electricity. Paper 2: Written Examination 2 Hours 34% 60 mark questions from chapters 6-8 and 25 multiple choice questions based around Further mechanics and thermal physics, fields and their consequences, and nuclear physics Paper 3: Written Examination 2 Hours 32% 45 marks on practical experiments and data analysis and 35 marks on option topic Options topics: Either; Astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics, or electronics
