Course summary

Physics at UAI is all about understanding the world around us. It involves the study of the Universe, from huge galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles. The subject has led to great discoveries and technologies which have changed our lives immeasurably – from treating cancer to developing sustainable electricity generation. As a department we endeavor to provide a high-quality Physics curriculum to engage students and instill a sense of excitement and curiosity about physical phenomena. Our intent is to develop the students’ skills and knowledge so that they can question the world around them, provide reasoned responses to unfamiliar concepts and so that they have the possibility of one day making their own future discoveries.

How you'll be assessed

The assessment of pupils form an important aspect of the department’s work. Each pupil’s progress is closely monitored by assessment tests. Investigations and practical activities also form part of their continuous assessment. All pupils are assessed by written work throughout the year. Pupil progress is closely monitored against individual targets and formal records are kept in accordance with school policy. Any causes for concern are flagged early so that effective intervention strategies can be implemented whenever student achievement is falling below expectations.
