Core Physics is studied in Year 10 and takes students through how energy is transferred. The next section includes energy transformations studied through how power stations work. The components of the Electromagnetic spectrum come next followed by the properties and uses of radioactive sources. This GCSE course finishes with studying theories about the origin of the Universe.

 

Additional Physics is studied in Year 11. This GCSE course takes students through Forces, electricity and rounds off with studying nuclear physics.

 

Triple Physics. Students who opt to follow this course will study all those aspects within the Core and Additional Units. They follow this up with studying further units in greater detail and applying their knowledge.

This triple component has overlaps with the first year of A-level Physics and is an important option for anyone considering studying Physics in the sixth form.

 

 

Look around any room and you will find yourself surrounded by Physics. From the lights you switch on, the TV you watch to the music playing and the way you cook your food. But can you explain how they work?. This course will give you an insight into the workings of everyday objects and take you on a journey so you can explain what the Hadron collider really is and Physics across the universe.
