Physics is the study of matter, energy and interaction between them. It allows students to delve deeper into how the world works on micro and macro levels, so that they can predict how the natural world came to be and will continue to exist and behave. The study of how matter and energy in our universe interact helps students broaden their knowledge of particles, substances and forces, as well as conceptualise our place in the universe. Studying Physics at A-Level gives students the opportunity to study some of the fundamental concepts in physics surrounding matter, mechanics and electricity.
Year 1 Particles and Matter What are the small fibres that make up our universe? Waves How do disturbances transfer energy and information? Mechanics What are the laws of motion that govern our universe? Electricity How have we harnessed charged particles and manipulated them to modernise our lives? Year 2 Further Mechanics A deeper study of movement where we examine circular and harmonic motion. Fields How do gravity, magnetism and electricity unify physicists across the world? Thermal Physics How can we deepen our understanding of the study of matter and it’s thermal properties to improve our knowledge of the universe? Radioactivity How do the properties of the nucleus underpin nuclear energy production? Option Module (see details below) Paper 1 Particles and Matter Waves Mechanics Electricity Further Mechanics 2 Hours / 85 Marks / 34% Paper 2 Any Paper 1 Content Fields Thermal Physics Radioactivity 2 Hours /85 Marks / 34% Paper 3 Option Module.
