A level Physics studies forces, energy, materials, waves and electricity in greater depth than covered in GCSE. These are studied in context to see how Physics applies to world around us. You will be expected to do more independent learning than before, with regular maintenance of notes and reading around the subject. There will be a good deal of practical work and you will learn to think critically about aspects of Physics that impact on everyday life. You will also develop synoptic thinking skills being able to see how different aspects of Physics and other sciences link together as well as realising the limitations of Mathematical models. Problem solving and mathematical skills are also built upon, through both theoretical and practical work, and are assessed through both the Practical Endorsement and the A-Level examinations.
