A list of the topics covered can be found below. The course develops students’ mathematical and problem solving skills, building on the foundations laid down in GCSE Physics and Mathematics. We cover detailed descriptions of the evolution of scientific ideas and explanations of physical phenomena. Strong comprehension skills are therefore recommended. As well as a study of classical Newtonian mechanics, students will explore concepts like wave-particle duality that emerged from Quantum Theory, as well as time dilation and length contraction from Albert Einstein’s Special Relativity.
GCSE to grade A/7 or above in Physics and Maths as well as a good level of English.
Paper 1 - Written Paper (34%) 2 hours The paper consists of short answer, long answer and multiple-choice questions. Paper 2 - Written Paper (34%) 2 hours The paper consists of short answer, long answer and multiple-choice questions. Paper 3 - Written Paper (32%) 2 hours The paper consists of short and long answer questions on the required practicals and content from the optional topic (probably Astrophysics)
