IGCSE Physics
Stonebridge College.
Summary
Overview
The IGCSE in Physics aims to impart a systematic body of scientific knowledge and skills as well as foster an appreciation of the practical nature of physics. Through this course you will develop experimental and investigative skills based on correct, safe laboratory techniques. You will also gain an appreciation of scientific methods and learn to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them.
This home learning Physics IGCSE qualification has been designed:
- To impart a systematic body of scientific knowledge and the skills needed to apply this in new and changing situations in many domestic, industrial and environmental contexts
- To foster an appreciation of the practical nature of physics, and develop experimental and investigative skills based on correct and safe laboratory techniques
- To develop an appreciation of the importance of accurate experimental work and reporting to scientific method
- To enable you to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them
- To enable you to evaluate, in terms of their scientific knowledge and understanding, the benefits and drawbacks (including social, environmental and economic) of scientific and technological developments
- To enable you to select, organise and present information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions
This IGCSE distance learning course is aimed at those who want an introduction to physics in order to either progress to further study at A Level or simply to supplement a varied portfolio of IGCSE/GCSE subjects.
