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, Mrs Waddell and the brand spanking new Mr Wilkinson. 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.
