Introduction
Mr Jackson (Physics)
The subject comprises of six relatively large modules, taught in some kind of random rotational pattern by Mr Archer, Mrs Waddell, 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.
Room 9
At A-Level, Physics lessons are usually delivered from room 9.
