What will I learn? This course follows the OCR exam board course Physics A. There are 6 modules and three exams • Module 1 – Development of practical skills in physics: This involves practical skills assessed in a written examination and several key experiments your teachers will report on separately. • Module 2 – Foundations of physics covering: physical quantities and units, making measurements and analysing data and the nature of quantities. • Module 3 – Forces and motion covering: motion, forces in action, work, energy and power, materials and Newton’s laws of motion and momentum. • Module 4 – Electrons, waves and photons: charge and current, energy, power and resistance, electrical circuits, waves and quantum physics. • Module 5 – Newtonian world and astrophysics covering: thermal physics, circular motion, oscillations, gravitational field, astrophysics and cosmology • Module 6 – Particles and medical physics covering: capacitors, electric fields, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics and medical imaging. How is it delivered? Modelling Physics: 2¼ hour written exam 100 marks, 37% of A level. Exploring Physics: 2¼ hour written exam 100 marks, 37% of A level. Unified Physics: 1hr 30mins written exam 70 marks, 26% of the A level. Is there anything else I need to know? Candidates must have achieved a GCSE grade B at Additional Science or a C or above in Physics to be on this course, as without this level of prior attainment, the student would not make the grade at AS. GCSE Maths B+ would be an advantage as there are calculations and rearrangement of equations to perform Future Opportunities? Degree level qualifications in Physics, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Forensic Science etc.
