Level 2 Physics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr Hafiz.
•The course offers a total of 16 credits from 3 internal assessments and 1 external standard. We can offer 2 external standards if requested by students.
• Internal assessments are a test and a practical assessment and students are expected to use the skills learnt to plan and carry out practical work, and show safe practice for all experimental work.
•Use of models of atomic physics in describing the atomic theories.
•Seniors are expected to take responsibility for their learning, this means reading relevant chapters in the text book, and completing all class work and homework.
