This links to, and will help you deliver, the various national curricula for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as set out below.
By working through this section it is expected that you will be able to describe and explain:
- light as a wave, and reflection and refraction;
- magnetic fields around electrical wires and the construction of simple motors; and
- distance, time and speed, and the analysis of a projectile's trajectory.
