A-level Physics allows students to appreciate how fundamental Science works and to study optional topics that particularly interest them – including Astrophysics, Medical Physics and Applied Physics. A-level Physics builds on the concepts and skills developed in the Physics GCSE and is particularly suitable for students who have the skills and knowledge associated with a GCSE Additional Science course or equivalent. COURSE CONTENT: • Particles • Quantum Phenomena • Electricity • Mechanics of motion • Materials Engineering • Waves and duality • Fields • Further mechanics • Nuclear Physics • Thermal Physics • Astrophysics Options: A – Astrophysics B – Medical Physics C – Applied Physics D – Turning Points in Physics
• An enjoyment and interest in the subject of Physics • For pupils following the Separate Science course: Physics at grade B or better • For pupils following the Core and Additional Science course: Core at grade B or better • Additional at grade B or better • Mathematics: GCSE at grade B or better (Higher Tier) • A willingness to work conscientiously • We would strongly advise that you study A level Mathematics, however this is not compulsory
There will be three written exams each of 1.75 hours covering the course content. Also your ability to work practically will be internally assessed over a range of 12 practical activities during the course.
