Evidence Text

• The paper is based on the common curriculum for Year 13 students. It is an introduction to problem solving for some students. Teachers may use it as a competition paper, or as a classroom resource. It contains questions that relate to A level (or equivalent) topics, but it is not A level exam preparation. It is to stretch thinking into the applications and ideas rather than to keep to the narrow content of the syllabus, preparing students for further work, or for interview practice. Past papers are available and practising on these will help to develop a deeper understanding of the ideas and applications of physics. Some of the questions are interesting from a historical perspective.
