The Physics course is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding of matter, forces, and energy. From the ideas behind Newton's cradle to calculating the age of the universe, you will take part in exciting, interactive lessons where a large proportion of them will be practically based. You will use slow-motion tracking software to see how projectiles work, use data loggers to analyse movement, as well using electron deflection tubes to calculate the speed at which the electrons are traveling. We have a strong team of teachers who are able to use their excellent subject knowledge and experience to deliver engaging and inspiring lessons. Support is not just limited to the classroom as the team is happy to support you both in and out of lessons. Physics is a well-represented A-Level in King’s with approximately 30-40 students choosing to study it, from a variety of different backgrounds but all with a common interest in finding out about how things work.
