In this course the physics principles underlying a wide range of everyday phenomena are exposed and problems solved through a mix of practical and theory. The course develops new understanding through a series of contexts such as mechanical and optical testing in the food industry, the electrical and heat transfer needs of a spacecraft, the frontiers of knowledge at cosmic level and sub-microscopic level, and wave vibrations in earthquakes and in music.
Assessment is in the form of three externally-assessed written examinations and one practical endorsement (non-examined). Students keep a lab work book and are awarded ‘pass’ or ‘unclassified’ from 12 practicals. Students can still get a final grade without passing the practical endorsement.
