Sixth form physics bridging work designed to prepare students for the A-level Physics course. It guides learners to set up an organised Learning Folder, use Personal Learning Checklists, and adopt a deep, evidence-based physics mindset. The summer transition workbook includes tasks for year 11 to year 12, such as background maths and problem-solving practice, clear self-assessment criteria, confidence marking, and practical study routines covering units, powers of ten, significant figures, equation rearranging, and energy and speed revision.

SIXTH FORM BRIDGING WORK # Get Ready for Physics Getting organised:Make sure you have set up a Learning Folder(see Sixth Form file check forcontent).The PLCs(Personal Learning Checklists)should be at the front. Subject mind-set and BIG picture thinking. Physicists focus their thinking on developing insight into what the observable world is made of and how itsconstituents behave,trying their hardest to achieve a deep understanding. Physicists seek the most fundamental explanations and have utility and currency across many domains.They arenot satisfied with superficial explanations. This involves the systematic criticism of every idea and result.They have to bear a wide range of knowledge tomake sure each analysis is consistent with what is already known. | Please complete the following tasks ahead of starting the Sixth Form: | | --- | | Work to complete | | Firefly section“A'level Physics"“GET READY FOR A'LEVEL”.There is a transition guide which practices important skill. | | Recommended text books | | Any A'level text book for AQA.We will be refering to the CGP one during the course,this can be purchased through the school. | | Recommended websites you should be familiar with | | https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/This site has revision notes and most past papers.
