Physics A will prepare students for a career or further study in physics, engineering, one of the other sciences or related areas. While the teaching of practical skills may be integrated with the theoretical topics, they are assessed separately. This allows skills to be developed in a way suited to an individual centre.
Benefits
- Redeveloped with QCA, senior physics examiners and a number of customers.
- This specification has less emphasis on recall and more on understanding and application.
- Assessment outcomes are clear.
- Suitable practical work is suggested throughout and the aspects of How Science Works are signposted.
