AS Year : Development of practical skills in physics - You will develop skills in planning, implementing, analysing and evaluating practical experiments in physics. Foundations in physics - This module will introduce you to important conventions in physics including understanding of physical quantites, S.I. units, scalars and vectors. Forces & motion - You will explore the physics of projectiles and motion, forces and energy and examine the mechanical properties of materials in extreme situations. You will investigate what happens to materials subject to stress and strain and learn how to calculate the energy transferred by projectiles and in collisions. Electrons, waves & photons - You will explore the topic of electricity looking at what current is, how and why it moves and how we can utilise it. You will also learn about the properties and behaviour of waves, including interference and diffraction, before studying the principles of Quantum Physics and the wave/particle duality of light
