Key subject aims 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 students to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them To enable students 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 students to select, organise and present information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions
