Physics

Course Description

Physics is a fascinating subject that explains how the universe works! Exciting!

We teach physics through a mixture of theory, practical work and demonstration and are committed to the best possible delivery of this amazing subject.

We study mechanics, astrophysics, nuclear, particle and medical physics, electrical circuits and fields, quantum physics and many others on the OCR Physics A specification with a range of different teaching methods.

You will learn how to apply the laws of physics to understand the universe around you, how to design and follow experiments, and how to foster curiosity to answer fundamental questions.

A1: Foundations of Physics, Motion, Forces in Action, Work Energy and Power, Materials Physics, Charge, Electrical Circuits, Energy Power and Resistance, Waves, Quantum Physics

A2: Thermal Physics, Circular Motion, Oscillations, Astrophysics and Gravitation, Capacitors, Electric Fields, Electromagnetism, Nuclear and Particle Physics
