Throughout their study of Physics at this level, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of what it means to work scientifically. You will also develop your competence in manipulating quantities and their units, including making estimates and calculating uncertainties. You will gain experience of a wide variety of practical work that gives you the opportunities to develop your practical and investigative skills by planning, carrying out and evaluating experiments. Through studying a range of examples, contexts and applications of Physics, you will become increasingly knowledgeable of the ways in which the scientific community and society as a whole use scientific ideas and methods, and how the professional scientific community functions. The theoretical work is supported by a wide range of core practicals throughout the course, these will be recorded in the lab books and form a record of the work done. This will be assessed by the teachers to ensure all students have met and understood all the core skills needed to succeed in the paper 3 examination and will also be submitted to form part of the practical endorsement for the students’ final result. In Year 12 we will build on the Physics you learned at GCSE and also bring in new aspects you will not yet have met. We study the topics required for Paper 1 of Advanced Physics: Working as a Physicist Mechanics Electric Circuits Further Mechanics Electric and Magnetic Fields Nuclear and Particle Physics In Year 13 study the topics required for Paper 2 of Advanced Physics. These are: Working as a Physicist Materials Waves & Particle Nature of light Thermodynamics Space Nuclear Radiation Gravitational Fields Oscillations Assessment We follow the Edexcel specification. The examinations are: Advanced Physics I; Advanced Physics II and Paper 3 General and Practical Principles in Physics. The third paper may draw on any of the topics in the specification. It will include synoptic questions that may draw on two or more different topics and will include questions that assess conceptual and theoretical understanding of experimental methods (indirect practical skills) that will draw on students’ experiences of the core practicals.
