People often say that “physics is in everything,” and there is much truth in that. We can use its basic ideas – matter, force, energy and so on – to explain every aspect of our world, from the smallest particles to superclusters of galaxies. We are all born with an urge to understand the world around us. Maybe those who haven’t outgrown this urge are on the road to becoming physicists and should consider taking A Level physics. Aside from its importance and adaptability, physics can be fascinating and fun. At its heart, it is about finding out and understanding what lies behind everyday phenomena. The A Level course reflects this and combines practical work and theory.
There will be three examination papers, with each of them lasting two hours. Over the period of the two years, students will complete twelve required practicals. Students may be awarded a practical endorsement attached to their A Level if these practicals are completed to the appropriate standard. The skills gained during the practical work will be assessed as part of the examination papers.
