Course summary

GCE A Level Physics - exam board OCR. Physics is a fundamental science, the range of which stretches from the subatomic particles that make up matter, to supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies that are unimaginably far away. At its heart is the desire to find out how the world works by studying it through experimentation and attempting to describe it through the language of mathematics for the purpose of creating physical models. As you progress through the course you will build you knowledge of the laws of Physics and apply your understanding to problem solve questions such as what is at the centre of a galaxy? Why do forces exist? How do rockets take off? Can something exist in two places at the same time? These questions and many more are explored while studying A Level Physics. You will be fascinated as the inner workings of the physical world are revealed to you as you study physics in greater depth.
