Physics

Within the integrated science course, Physics is taught using the same format as Biology and Chemistry. 

Practical investigations, problem-solving opportunities and interactive tasks are among some of the many and varied activities utilised within each topic to help pupils develop a sound understanding of this subject. The links between the learning and everyday phenomena are highlighted to help students put physics into context and encourage confidence with the theories explored at this level.

Once again the online textbook, covering all the topics from Key Stage 3, provides pupils with a structured and appropriate reference tool to support their learning.

Course materials 

The course is taught using the broad structure of Activate Physics, utilising the textbook, practical worksheets and assessment materials. It is supplemented by unique electronic media and interactive resources developed by the science teachers at Farlington.

How will I be assessed?

You will have a Science assessment after each topic, which will be 30 marks and will usually include a practical aspect as well.

There will be a Physics paper in the End of Year Examinations, which will contain questions on all of the topics you have covered up to that point.
