Autumn term· Topic P1.1: Thermal energy transfer – conduction, convection and radiation. Insulation methods.
Spring term· Topic P1.2: Conservation of energy and energy forms and types. Efficiency and power.
· Topic P1.3 and P1.4: Energy sources and the commercial production of electrical energy
Summer Term· Topic P1.4: Continued study of the use of electricity
· Topic P1.5: Properties of waves and communications.
Assessment
At the end of each topic there is a test to make sure that the work has been understood and to show the type of questions on each topic they are likely to be asked in the summer examination. Students are given plenty of notice of the test date and homework time to revise for the test and the teacher advises how best to set about learning the work. At the end of the year they will undertake an examination paper composed of GCSE standard questions. They will also be tested on their graph plotting skills and ability to interpret data.
