Physics is the science of how matter interacts and it spans the whole range from the very smallest particles right up to the universe itself. As a physical science, there is an emphasis on predicting behaviour and testing through observation and measurement. Physics students can pursue further study at university in Physics, Engineering, or Computer Science degrees. However, the analytical skills developed make Physics a highly sought-after qualification in other careers such as medicine, computer programming, intellectual property, finance and economics. In addition to all the topics covered in AS; the new linear, A Level syllabus requires an in-depth application of these concepts. So we take force and energy and apply them to harmonic oscillations and circular motion. It also introduces the concept of the force field and how we use this to store electrical energy and determine satellite orbits. The connections between electricity and magnetism are investigated to demonstrate the principles of motors, generators and transformers. Developments in nuclear power and radioactivity are covered along with ideal gases and thermal physics. The syllabus provides a choice of optional topics: we will do the astrophysics module. This gives students a view of the universe at large including dark matter and energy, black holes and quasars along with knowledge of the tools used by astronomers to see to the edge of space and time.
