We follow OCR A Physics, which covers the following topics. The six modules are each divided into key topics: Module 1: Development of practical skills in physics • Practical skills assessed in a written examination • Practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement Module 2: Foundations in physics • Physical quantities and units • Making measurements and analysing data • Nature of quantities Module 3: Forces and motion • Motion • Forces in action • Work, energy and power • Materials • Newton’s laws of motion and momentum Module 4: Electrons, waves and photons • Charge and current • Energy, power and resistance • Electrical circuits • Waves • Quantum physics Module 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics • Thermal physics • Circular motion • Oscillations • Gravitational fields • Astrophysics and cosmology Module 6: Particles and medical physics • Capacitors • Electric fields • Electromagnetism • Nuclear and particle physics • Medical imaging
Grade 7 in GCSE Physics or 7.7 in Combined Science
The course is assessed with three exams at the end of year 13. Pupils also gain practical skills throughout the course. These are assessed in the written examinations and in the practical endorsement.
