How will I learn? Lessons involve theoretical and practical activities. A commitment to discussion and study time outside lessons is essential for success in this course. What can I do at the end of the course? Physics lends itself to a wide range of career opportunities including engineering, power generation, medicine, research and development. However, the analytical and problem-solving skills that you will develop will greatly enhance your employment prospects with any organisation. What will I learn? A Level Course Outline : The content is split into six teaching modules: Module 1 – Development of practical skills in Physics 1.1Practical skills assessed in a written examination 1.2Practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement Module 2 – Foundations of Physics 2.1Physical quantities and units 2.2Making measurements and analysing data 2.3Nature of quantities Module 3 – Forces and motion 3.1Motion 3.2Forces in action 3.3Work, energy and power 3.4Materials 3.5Newton's laws of motion and momentum Module 4 – Electrons, waves and photons 4.1Charge and current 4.2Energy, power and resistance 4.3Electrical circuits 4.4Waves 4.5Quantum physics Module 5 – Newtonian world and astrophysics 5.1Thermal physics 5.2Circular motion 5.3Oscillations 5.4Gravitational fields 5.5Astrophysics and cosmology Module 6 – Particles and medical Physics 6.1Capacitors 6.2Electric fields 6.3Electromagnetism 6.4Nuclear and particle physics 6.5Medical imaging
At least three GCSEs at Grade 6 or above in relevant subjects and GCSE English Language at Grade 4 or above. Two Grades 6 or above in Combined Science. Grade 6 or above in Physics one other Science if you studied separate Sciences at GCSE. A Grade 6 or above in GCSE English and a Grade 7 or above in Mathematics. The expectation is that you would also be studying A level Mathematics.
For A level, there are three examined modules; ·Modelling Physics (Worth 37%) 100 marks (2 hour 15 minutes exam) ·Exploring Physics (Worth 37%) 100 marks (2 hour 15 minutes exam) ·Unified Physics (Worth 26%) 70 marks (1 hour 30 minutes exam) ·Practical endorsement in Physics (non exam assessment, reported separately) All papers are sat in June of Year 13, which count for 100% of the grade.
