Physics

GCSE Physics is the study of the fundamental principles that govern the natural world, focusing on how matter and energy interact across different contexts. It covers key topics such as forces, motion, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of the atom, equipping students with a solid foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical applications. Pupils learn to apply mathematical formulae, interpret data from experiments, and develop a scientific understanding of everyday phenomena – from how engines work to the behaviour of light and sound. The course also fosters analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation of the role physics plays in technological advancement and the wider universe.
