This course contains 3 units:
- Rotational Motion and Astrophysics
- Quanta and Waves
- Electromagnetism
Each unit will be assessed continually in class, through the use of past paper based homework and an A-D level class test and SQA assessment.
The Advanced Higher Physics course enables learners to build on the knowledge and skills developed in the Higher Physics course and to use their mathematical knowledge and skills to analyse and solve problems in real-life contexts. Through a deeper insight into the structure of the subject, the course reinforces and extends knowledge and understanding of the concepts of physics and develops skills in investigative practical work.
The elements of the Course are Knowledge and Understanding and Analytical Thinking Skills.
