Physics
AQA
Discover a range of new and exciting particles, their various uses in modern technology and about the weirdness of the quantum world. Can matter travel in waves? How does the technology that underpins cloaking work? Answer these questions by studying the behaviour of a variety of different waves. Are there materials strong enough to build a tower into space? You will study the behaviour of solid materials and be able to describe their motion to make predictions.

Our students say:
"I have developed many practical and problem-solving skills. I personally have enjoyed the circuit building practical in which we had to create our own device. This was an excellent insight into electrical engineering which is potentially one of the career paths that I may pursue."
