Physics

Course summary

At LMS we study the OCR course leading to A2 qualifications. The course bridges the gap between GCSE and A-Level standard of thinking and problem solving. Students in Year 12 study two module areas. These extend upon some topics studied at GCSE such as forces and electricity; and introduce new areas such as the physics of materials and quantum physics. Year 13 builds on the Year 12 topic areas, develops a more extensive understanding of field theories and diagnostic techniques in medicine but also introduces the fields at the forefront of Physics research in Cosmology, Particles, and Nuclear Physics. Students will be taught by two Physics teachers, who share the teaching of the course.
