PHYSICS CAN BE REGARDED AS the study of matter, energy, fields and waves, and has been described as the science of measurement. Physicists investigate the laws of nature on all scales, from the interaction of sub-atomic particles to the behaviour of black holes at the edge of the observable universe. They seek to apply general principles to a wide range of phenomena, which may at first seem unrelated. A Physicist has to obtain reliable experimental evidence and analyse it critically. A sound knowledge of physical principles under-pins the development of modern technology. The study of Physics can enable individuals to make informed decisions about a range of modern environmental and technological issues. CONTENT Physics A-level content is split into six teaching modules: • Module 1: Development of practical skills. • Module 2: Foundations of physics. • Module 3: Forces and motion. • Module 4: Electrons, waves, and photons. • Module 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics. • Module 6: Particles and medical physics.
