Physics

Course summary

A-Level Physics is taught via the OCR Physics A specification, designed to “sustain and develop an enjoyment and interest in Physics, to recognise the value of Physics to society and how it may be used responsibly, as well as developing your knowledge and understanding of the concepts and skills essential to the subject”. Many of the topics will be familiar to you as they are extensions of those covered in GCSE Physics. You will apply your understanding to solve problems on topics ranging from sub-atomic particles to the entire universe! We will develop the depth of your understanding of these topics and reinforce the theory with new practical skills. The content is split into six modules: 1. Development of practical skills in physics 2. Foundations of physics 3. Forces and motion 4. Electrons, waves and photons 5. Newtonian world and astrophysics 6. Particles and medical physics
