Students will start to unravel the universe starting with how to effectively investigate the world before plunging into the mysteries of the subatomic world and the weird nature of light. Students continue their GCSE learning to a greater depth with forces and motion and broaden to new topics such as waves that are stationary as well as the properties of materials. Students also learn how electric circuits really work and have those amazing Physics questions students have always wanted to ask, answered Second Year Students will continue their progression into understanding the very fabric of how our universe is constructed. They will learn the first levels of some of the most fundamental concepts in Physics such as simple harmonic motion and thermal energy transfers. Students will also learn how gravitational, electrical and magnetic fields are constructed along with their properties. The fun continues into deepening their understanding of radiation and radioactive decay. The course will end with students learning about how to look into space and then a (metaphorical) trip] into space and to see how it moves and how stars change in their life cycles.
• 5 Grades 9-4 • Grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics • Grade 6 or above in GCSE English Language or English Literature • Double Science: Grades 7 & 7 or Triple Science: Grade 7 in Physics and also in one other science.
The assessment is three externally assessed written examination papers, each lasting 2 hours. The first two are worth 34% each and the third being 32% of the course. Paper one has content taught in the first year with paper two having content taught in the second year. The third paper includes the Astrophysics topic as well as the experimental and investigative techniques and skills which students will be learning throughout the two years.
