Course aims & skills

AQA A Level Physics builds the skills examiners reward. By the end of the course you should be able to:

  • recall scientific facts, terms, definitions and units
  • apply knowledge and understanding to unfamiliar situations
  • interpret, analyse and evaluate experimental data
  • plan investigations and evaluate methods and conclusions
  • carry out the required practicals and describe the techniques
  • use and rearrange equations, and work with significant figures
  • process data with appropriate maths skills
  • construct and read graphs, tables and diagrams
  • build and communicate evidence-based scientific arguments
