Overview
Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics (9702) builds on the skills acquired at Cambridge IGCSE (or equivalent) level. The syllabus includes the main theoretical concepts which are fundamental to the subject, a section on some current applications of Physics, and a strong emphasis on advanced practical skills. Practical skills are assessed in a timetabled practical examination.
The emphasis throughout is on the understanding of concepts and the application of Physics ideas in novel contexts as well as on the acquisition of knowledge. The course encourages creative thinking and problem-solving skills which are transferable to any future career path. Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics is ideal for learners who want to study Physics or a wide variety of related subjects at university or to follow a career in science.
Learning Objectives
The syllabus enables candidates to:- Become confident citizens in a technological world, with the ability to take or develop an informed interest in scientific matters
- Recognize the usefulness, and limitations, of the scientific method, and appreciate its applicability in other disciplines and in everyday life
- Be suitably prepared for studies beyond Cambridge International A Level in Physics, in engineering or in Physics-dependent vocational courses
- Develop abilities and skills that are relevant to the study and practice of science, useful in everyday life, encourage efficient and safe practice, and encourage effective communication
- Develop attitudes relevant to science such as: a concern for accuracy and precision, objectivity, integrity, a spirit of enquiry, initiative, and inventiveness
- Develop an interest in, and care for, the environment in relation to the environmental impact of Physics and its applications
- Become aware of the fact that the study and practice of Physics are co-operative and cumulative activities, and are subject to social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural influences and limitations, that the applications of Physics may be both beneficial and detrimental to the individual, the community and the environment, and of the importance of the use of IT for communication, as an aid to experiments and as a tool for the interpretation of experimental and theoretical results
