Physics KS 3
Throughout Years 8, 9 and 10 we cover a broad range of topics introducing the various concepts that will be studied in more depth at GCSE. Most lessons will involve a practical element and in each year there are research, data analysis and presentation tasks that provide opportunities for developing ICT skills within a scientific context.
The broad areas of study covered in each year are as follows:
Year 8
- Introduction to physics as part of science.
- Forces
- Energy (including energy conservation, efficiency and energy resources)
- Density
Year 9
- Sound
- Light
- Heat Transfer (conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation)
Year 10
- Electricity and magnetism
- Motion
- Space physics
- Pressure and Moments
