Home Tuition Scotland Standard Grade Physics tutors, Intermediate Physics tutors, Higher Physics tutors, and Advanced Higher Physics tutors cover the following Units which have been chosen to allow pupils to achieve the specific learning objectives The reasons for this selection of units are stated briefly below.
Unit 1: Telecommunication
A Standard Grade Physics tutor, Intermediate Physics tutor, Higher Physics tutor, and Advanced Higher Physics tutor will assist pupils to gain understanding of the physical principles which underlie the rapidly developing area of information technology. Among the aspects studied are radio and television reception, communication satellites and the use of fibre optics for transmitting information.
Unit 2: Using Electricity
This Unit allows pupils to gain a knowledge and understanding of the principles behind the electrical and electronic devices which they encounter in their everyday lives. Since these principles are developed further in later Units, the emphasis in this Unit is on providing a sound foundation of electrical circuit theory.
Unit 3: Health Physics
It is hoped that an awareness of the beneficial and caring face of physics will balance the negative view that physics only relates to the production of weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, this Unit is especially important as a preparation for life as it introduces pupils to the uses of ultrasonics, optics, electronics and radioactivity in medical care.
Unit 4: Electronics
Developments in the field of microelectronics have revolutionised the structure of commerce and industry. Standard Grade Physics lessons, Intermediate Physics lessons, Higher Physics lessons, and Advanced Higher Physics lessons attempts to familiarise pupils with developments in both digital and analogue electronics and provides further applications of the circuit theory developed in Unit 2. The associated practical activities allow pupils to investigate what “chips” can do and to recognise how they can be linked together as elements in a total system. Theoretical aspects of solid state physics are not considered appropriate at this level.
Unit 5: Transport
This Unit is similar in nature to Unit 2 in that it introduces fundamental concepts which can be developed further in later Units. The main aim is to provide a grounding in key concepts of mechanics and to relate these to everyday aspects of travel such as the use of seat belts and the stopping distances of vehicles.
Unit 6: Energy Matters
The provision of an adequate supply of energy and its careful husbanding is one of the most important problems facing a modern, highly-industrialised society. Standard Grade Physics exams, Intermediate Physics exams, Higher Physics exams, and Advanced Higher Physics exams enable pupils to study energy supply and demand, the generation of electricity and the physical principles involved in conservation, especially in the domestic environment.
Unit 7: Space Physics
Standard Grade Physics tuition, Intermediate Physics tuition, Higher Physics tuition, and Advanced Higher Physics tuition endeavours to instil in pupils a sense of wonder about the vastness of the Universe and to develop an appreciation of the ways in which knowledge has been obtained about the constitution of stars.
