Physics asks how the physical world behaves and why. In this pathway you learn to describe that behaviour with quantities, diagrams, and evidence, then use those descriptions to predict what happens next.

You will calculate motion from graphs, track energy transfers, explain thermal change, and reason about waves, circuits, and magnetic fields. Later work extends the same habits to radioactivity and objects in space. Throughout, you practise choosing a method, showing working, and saying what the result means.

• Measure and model: Use quantities, units, diagrams, and graphs so a situation becomes something you can calculate and check.
• Solve and explain: Rearrange relationships, judge whether a result is physically reasonable, and write a reason that matches the physics, not only the formula.
• Investigate: Plan a fair test, record observations, and evaluate methods — the experimental habits assessed alongside the written papers.
• Practise the papers as an outcome: Meet multiple-choice, structured theory, and practical-skill questions after you can already measure, calculate, and explain.
