Physics Summary
Physics is known as the fundamental science and creates a foundation for the other natural sciences. To know Physics is to understand how the world around us works and be able to apply this knowledge to explain new, novel situations. The laws of physics govern the behaviour of the largest celestial bodies to the smallest subatomic particles. Physics also develops many transferable skills that can be called upon in either further education or the workplace. Chief among these: planning, problem solving and evaluating. Through required practical activities, you will gain hands-on experience of the physics you study in lesson time. Practical activities will allow you the opportunity to devise and carry out investigations to test the knowledge that you gain across the course which you can then take out of the physics context and apply to a range of situations. Physics enhances our ability to analyse a situation and unpick the basic principles that are at work to make predictions and develop new, useful applications for them.
