Physics L3
Level 3 Physics COURSE OUTLINE.
What should I have already achieved?
- 14 credits in level 2 physics which include 2 internals and 1 external in level 2 Physics.
- Some students may apply for alternative entry - this will be at the discretion of the teacher in charge of the course, in consultation with the LA.
Level 3 Physics COURSE OUTLINE.
What will I learn?
- You will develop your skills as a scientist by carrying out a range of physics investigations (including one long term project).
- Collecting data using the latest technologies will be a focus as this allows you to design your own investigations and research areas of your own interest.
- Physics concepts of force, energy and conservation laws will be applied to a wide range of contexts including nuclear medicine, sports science, engineering, outdoor adventure pursuits, electric motors and alternative energy generators.
How will this course be assessed?
- This course is assessed with a combination of internal and external assessments.
- The internal assessments focus more on science skills of investigating and researching, whereas
- the external assessments focus more on understanding of science concepts relating to widely accepted physics ideas.
- There is a some internal options for students during term 1 itimes. (discuss with Curriculum leader)
Will there be any FAO? (Further Assessment Opportunities)
- No.
Are there any Recommendations for level 3?
- At least 14 credits in level 2 physics.
- It is recommended that students pass at least 2 internals and 1 external in level 2 to proceed to level 3 physics. This is to ensure the best chance of success.
