L2 Physics
2Phys Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr D. Aston.
Prerequisites10 credits at L1 Science or by HOD discretion
Physics attempts to explain the effects of energy on different aspects of our lives. Each of the topics covered reminds us of how the types of energy change depending on what we are doing. The supply of energy limits the amount of work we can do to achieve a desired outcome. Through a series of experiments and sometimes the use of robots we show how some of the rules we live by are explained by the concepts of Physics. The following topics are covered:
- Experimental skills
- Mechanics: Energy, Vectors, Motion, Forces, Levers
- Radioactivity
- Electricity: Voltage, Current, Resistance, Meters, Motors and Electromagnetism, Electrostatics
These topics are designed to prepare for Level 3 Physics.
