Mr Archer (Head of Physics)
The subject comprises of six relatively large modules, taught in some kind of random rotational pattern by Mr Archer, Miss Mochrie, Mr Wilkinson and Mr Newby. 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.
This subject is sometimes quite fun because there are often practicals, especially at the start of Year 9. If you want bunsen burner practicals try Chemistry. This is the subject where particle theory and the states of matter are studied (although the most common earthly states: solids, liquids and gases, are the only states studied, meanwhile all other states of matter go unmentioned).
