Assessment

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?
