The plan states departmental aims, ACHIEVE personal development themes, and curriculum goals focused on Newton’s laws, forces, pressure, and electromagnetism, strengthened by practical tasks and maths skills. It outlines resources, parent communication, and how each term’s units are taught and assessed, including careers links.","Physics GCSE  \nKey Stage 4 Curriculum Plan  \nYear 11 Physics (Separate)  \n\n| Exam Board: Qualifica􀆟on: Assessment Informa􀆟on:\u003Cbr>Link to official specifica􀆟on | AQA\u003Cbr>8463\u003Cbr>2 exams, each 1h45 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nDepartment Informa􀆟on:  \nPhysics, Biology and Chemistry are popular and successful subjects at Furze Platt. The Department aims to provide a supportive, stimulating, dynamic and academically challenging experience for all students. Over recent years, the Department has gone from strength to strength, and standards and students’ results are high. In Year 11, those students studying the separate Physics GCSE course will receive 4 hours of teaching each fortnight. Students sit the AQA exam board for GCSE Science examinations.  \nACHIEVE in the curriculum:  \nAmbitious – aiming for the highest grades possible, and giving opportunities for students to celebrate their own successes.  \nRegular inclusion of careers and higher education information in lessons  Collaboration – making use of the scientific method and grouped practical work.  \nVersatility-students will develop their versatility through the use of class practical activities, as well as through paired and group theory work.  \nIntegrity – students develop integrity through their completion of independent home learning and through self-marking and peermarking their work.  \nEndurance – students taught valuable revision strategies and repetition and a route to success at GCSE  \nCurriculum Aims & Intent:  \nThe GCSE Physics curriculum is designed to foster an appreciation and understanding of the role of Physics in every aspect of our lives, and a sense of awe at the wider foundational ideas of Physics.  \nThe curriculum aims to allow students to develop their scientific skills particularly through practical tasks, as we as enhancing their maths skills to allow them to complete the subject beyond GCSE.  \nThe key aspects of the Year 11 curriculum are to allow students to understand Newton’s laws and how they explain the motion of different objects, pressure on different surfaces, and how electromagnetism can be explained  \nResources:  \nTextbooks and revision guides: Oxford University Press GCSE Chemistry textbook (available online via Kerboodle), Oxford University Press GCSE Chemistry revision guide, Oxford University Press GCSE Chemistry workbook (Foundation and higher tier editions available).  \nWebsites: BBC Bitesize, GCSEPod, Focus eLearning, Physics and Maths Tutor  \nHow we keep parents informed:  \nDelete as appropriate:  \nYear 11-Progress reports are published 4 times per year, in October, December, February and March, with a face-to-face parents’ evening in October.  \nHow parents can help their child:  \nRegularly check Class Charts to keep track of homework that has been set and make sure that test dates are noted  \nAssist with homework where possible and make sure that students are revising for tests using revision guides, Kerboodle and BBC Bitesize  \nEncourage the completion and marking of past paper questions Liaise with teachers and attend Parents’ evening  \n\n| What we study and when: |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Term | Unit, Topic Or Summary Of Work Covered | Knowledge, Understanding & Skills Developed | ACHIEVE /\u003Cbr>Personal\u003Cbr>Development\u003Cbr>Focus | How The\u003Cbr>Work Is\u003Cbr>Assessed | Careers Links |\n| 1 | P8 Forces in balance &\u003Cbr>P9 Forces in mo􀆟on | • Define vectors and scalars\u003Cbr>• Iden􀆟fy scalar and vector quan􀆟􀆟es\u003Cbr>• Use vectors to represent forces, in the same plane and at right angles\u003Cbr>• Recall and apply Newton’s first & third laws to different scenarios\u003Cbr>• Define a moment, and make calcula􀆟ons involving momentsin equilibrium\u003Cbr>• Define centre of mass\u003Cbr>• Describe the effect of gears\u003Cbr>• Recall and use equa􀆟ons to calculate velocity and accelera􀆟on\u003Cbr>• Draw and interpret features of distance-􀆟me graphs\u003Cbr>• Draw and interpret features of velocity-􀆟me graphs | Versa􀆟lity – the focus of this topic is on applying laws of forces to a var","cbCaihArCLFQsVlf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihArCLFQsVlf","pdf",301796,1,3,"English","en",105,"# Department Information\n## ACHIEVE in the curriculum\n## Curriculum Aims & Intent\n## Resources and Websites\n## Parent Information and Support\n# What We Study and When\n## Term 1: Forces in balance & Forces in motion\n## Term 2: Forces and motion\n## Term 3: Pressure\n## Term 4: Electromagnetism","[{\"question\":\"Which exam board and how many exams are specified for Year 11 separate Physics GCSE?\",\"answer\":\"The plan specifies the AQA exam board (8463) and states that there are 2 exams, each 1h45.\"},{\"question\":\"What main topics does the Year 11 curriculum cover across the terms?\",\"answer\":\"The term units include forces in balance and motion, forces and motion (including terminal velocity, momentum, and Hooke’s law), pressure, and electromagnetism covering magnets, fields, induced magnetism, and the motor effect.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the plan support student progress and keep parents informed?\",\"answer\":\"It includes four progress reports per year and a face-to-face parents’ evening in October.
