1 Sixth Form A Level Physics Transition Booklet Name:

2 Welcome to Physics at Portland Place This Transition work is designed to help you to bridge the gap between your GCSE studies and AS/A Level. Why do Transition work? Preparation is crucial for studying A levels. A levels require you to be an independent learner. Although you have fewer subjects, A levels require different study skills and the volume of work is greater due to the increased demand of depth and detail. The exercises in this booklet will ensure that you are ready for the exciting challenges of becoming an A level student in September. It may be necessary to complete some of the tasks on separate sheets of paper. You have the choice of either typing or handwriting your responses. Each subject will be slightly different, but they will all require you to use the skills you will need for A level: independent enquiry; evidence of reading around the subject and enthusiasm and interest. Is Transition work assessed? Yes. In September, your subject teacher will ask you for your Transition work and it will be assessed. Teachers will be able to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses and begin to support and challenge you in a more targeted way. You must bring all the work with you to your first Year 12 Physics lesson in September.

3 The A Level that we do at Portland Place is AQA s specification 7408 Your AS Level Physics ( year 12 ) will cover the following topics 1. Particle Physics 2. Waves 3. Mechanics 4. Electricity

4 Year 11 to Year 12 Physics/A-Level Transition Unit Section 1: Research You should be doing Physics because you are interested in it and you should be prepared take things away from lessons and look into them more in your own time. Ahead of the Particle Physics topic you should research:- 1. The discovery of the structure of the atom : electrons, protons and neutrons 2. The discovery of the structure of protons and neutrons : ie quarks 3.
