“Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.” – Sir Arthur Eddington. Eddington provided the experimental evidence which verified Einstein’s theory of special relativity. His work typifies much of what Physics is about: big ideas, scientific investigation and being curious about the world around us. The Physics course here at Felsted aims to challenge the pupils’ perception of how the universe works through developing excellent experimental skills. It offers a natural progression for pupils who have enjoyed GCSE Physics.
Pupils should be aiming for at least a 7 in GCSE Physics or a 77 grade in GCSE Double Award Science (recommended). At least a grade 7 in Mathematics is also recommended.
