Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Daines.
In Level 3 Physics, students will continue to develop their understanding of physical world concepts and laws to solve quantitative, real-world, problems. This will prepare them for further study in Physics as they build knowledge on how physics laws have evolved over the past. Students will develop their understanding of modern atomic physics, mechanical systems, and wave systems.
They will learn applications of the concepts listed above in the real world via a range of practical activities, experiments and demonstrations.
This course is suitable for students who wish to pursue further study in Physics, such as through Engineering or Biomedical Science.
