These are not listed in order of priority.
The aims of a course based on this syllabus should be to:
1. provide, through well-designed studies of experimental and practical science, a
worthwhile educational experience for all students, whether or not they go on to study
science beyond this level and, in particular, to enable them to acquire sufficient
understanding and knowledge to:
1.1 become confident citizens in a technological world and be able to take or develop
an informed interest in matters of scientific import;
1.2 recognise the usefulness, and limitations, of scientific method and to appreciate
its applicability in other disciplines and in everyday life,
1.3 be suitably prepared for studies beyond A-Level in Physics, in Engineering or in
Physics dependent vocational courses.
2. develop abilities and skills that
2.1 are relevant to the study and practice of science;
2.2 are useful in everyday life;
2.3 encourage efficient and safe practice;
2.4 encourage effective communication.
3. develop attitudes relevant to science such as
3.1 concern for accuracy and precision;
3.2 objectivity;
3.3 integrity;
3.4 the skills of enquiry;
3.5 initiative;
3.6 inventiveness.
4 stimulate interest in, and care for, the environment in relation to the environmental
impact of Physics and its applications.

, 5. promote an awareness
5.1 that the study and practice of Physics are co-operative and cumulative activities,
and are subject to social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural influences
and limitations;
5.2 that the implications of Physics may be both beneficial and detrimental to the
individual, the community and the environment;
6. stimulate students and create a sustained interest in Physics so that the study of
the subject is enjoyable and satisfying.
