Introduction

Physics is a wonderfully varied subject. You will embark on a voyage of discovery - from the very tiniest atoms to the BIG universe. What happens when I drop two bricks, different masses, identical shape, out of a window? Are my readings correct? What is the uncertainty? (if you want to answer, "Does anyone get hurt?" Health and Safety would perhaps be a more appropriate subject choice)

The subject comprises of six relatively large modules, taught in some kind of random rotational pattern by Mr Archer, Mr Jackson and Mrs Donnelly. These are:

• Mechanics and Radioactivity
• Thermal and Electical Physics
• Astrophysics
• Circular Motion; Photoelectric Effect and Waves
• Fields and Capacitors
• Synoptic and Particle Accelerators

The majority of these topics are also covered in GCSE physics, hence the expression "my GCSE students can do this" comes up a lot.

Room 9

At A-Level, Physics lessons are usually delivered from room 9, a science lab in the corner of the balcony. This contains three 'comfy stools', much fought over and treasured.
