A Level Physics

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences and its ideas and principals are the foundations for all other science subjects. This course offers a broad vision of physics as it is today

There are nine units studied:

Year 12

• Measurements and Their Errors
• Particles and Radiation
• Waves
• Mechanics and Materials
• Electricity

Year 13

• Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics
• Fields and Their Consequences
• Nuclear Physics
• Turning Points in Physics

Following on from your GCSE studies you will explore the subject and its uses in the modern world looking at a variety of phenomena in a practical and in depth way.
