Cambridge    

A & AS Level Physics 9702

The syllabus offers a combination of theoretical and practical studies leading to an understanding of the more advanced principles of Physics.

Students will develop scientific abilities and skills relevant to the study of Physics; these will be of use in everyday life and employment and, if desired, will form an excellent basis for pursuing further studies. The candidates will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of physical concepts, on their ability to handle information and solve problems, and on their experimental and investigative skills.

Students will gain an awareness of the study and practice of science including practical work.

Advanced Subsidiary GCE in Physics(8540)

The aims of the Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE Physics specifications are to encourage students to:

 develop essential knowledge and understanding in physics and, where appropriate, the applications of physics, and the skills needed for the use of this in new and changing situations

 develop an understanding of the link between theory and experiment

 appreciate how physics has developed and is used in present day society

 show the importance of physics as a human endeavour which interacts with social, philosophical, economic and industrial matters

 sustain and develop their enjoyment of, and interest in, physics

 recognise the quantitative nature of physics and understand how mathematical expressions relate to physical principles.

In addition, in Advanced GCE physics specifications are to encourage students to:

 bring together knowledge of ways in which different areas of physics relate to each other

 study how scientific models develop.
