Physics, like all sciences, is a practical subject. You will study 14 core practical activities including:
- investigating interference and diffraction of laser light
- measuring acceleration due to gravity; investigating systems that oscillate
- investigation of the links between temperature and pressure
- investigating magnetic fields
- volume and pressure and the safe use of ionising radiation; and, investigating magnetic fields.
You will study in a variety of ways. In science these will include: In class activities, worksheets, research, practice exam questions, practicals both assessed and not, skills assessment, lab book, tests, group work and independent study.
The Awarding Body is AQA.
You will study 3 A Level subjects, plus tutorial and career development sessions. Each subject has 6 hours per week contact time, with approximately 4 hours of independent study.
Unfortunately we cannot accept students who only want to study a single A Level subject due to funding limitations.
