Physics is a tortured assembly of contrary qualities: of skepticism and rationality, of freedom and revolution, of passion and aesthetics, and of soaring imagination and trained common sense. Leon M Lederman
Physics is the most fundamental of the experimental sciences, as it seeks to explain the universe itself from the very smallest particles - currently accepted as quarks, which may be truly fundamental - to the vast distances between galaxies.
Students will extend their understanding of all the familiar Physics topics, such as forces, electricity and nuclear physics. All the core topics build upon GCSE understanding and the four additional Higher Level topics build upon the core topics. There is one option topic, we study Astrophysics but there is the opportunity to study the Engineering option for those wishing to study Engineering at University.
