New assessment objectives (AOs) 4/20/2017 New assessment objectives (AOs) These apply to both AS and A-level AO1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. AO2 Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures: in a range of theoretical and practical contexts; when handling qualitative and quantitative data. AO3 Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence, including in relation to issues, to: Make judgements and reach conclusions Develop and refine practical design and procedures.

Principles underpinning the A-level specification 4/20/2017 Principles underpinning the A-level specification Core Content needed by all students – 60% subject criteria used by all boards. AQA Extra content all students must do Optional units Areas of extra content identified by our HE panel and/or teachers as useful or important for students. Often a logical extension of core content or exemplification allowing further skills development. Areas of content that encourage interest and support progression, but that are not essential for further study in the subject. Basic requirements for progression to further study in Physics, Engineering or STEM subjects Slide 11 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

AS and A-level specifications at a glance - 1 4/20/2017 AS and A-level specifications at a glance - 1 Options retained at A-level, minor changes only with one new Option. Similar core content to before - changes are minor but significant - based on teacher feedback. Slide 12 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Copyright © AQA and its licensors.

Physics - 40% extra content Course Additional content Why we’ve added it AS and A-level Specific charge, nuclear interactions and forces, particle interactions, classification of particles (standard model) Modern Physics material, encourages interest in the subject by using contemporary examples that are often reported in the media. Electron collisions with atoms, energy levels and photon emission Supports and links other work with electron interactions, eg photoelectric effect Refraction at plane surfaces Core concept that is extended in several of the optional topics Moments Extension to mechanics allowing applications in many engineering contexts Potential divider Extension of current electricity; important for application to real life applications of electrical theory A-level only Simple harmonic systems, forced vibrations and resonance. Extension and exemplifications for SHM theory, allowing applications in many engineering contexts. Orbits of planets and satellites Exemplification of field theory, adds interest and links to contemporary contexts Alternating currents and transformers Link to electromagnetic induction, important for application to real life applications of electrical theory Nuclear instability, nuclear radius Extension of AS work and E=mc2 and nuclear changes, allows deeper understanding of the concepts. Safety aspects of nuclear fission reactors Extension to societal and environmental aspects of nuclear radiation A-level only Optional Topics Astrophysics, Electronics, Engineering Physics, Medical Physics, Turning points in Physics. Each topic allows students to study one smaller area in greater depth. Teachers can choose the topics to match the skills and interests of their students. Slide 13 Copyright © AQA and its licensors.
