L2 Physics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr V. Bloomfield.

In this course Students will:

· Investigate physical phenomena (in the areas of mechanics, electricity, electromagnetism, light and waves, and atomic and nuclear physics) and produce qualitative and quantitative explanations for a variety of unfamiliar situations.
· Analyse data to deduce complex trends and relationships in physical phenomena.
· Use physics ideas to explain a technological or biological application of physics.
