Advancing Physics

The popular and innovative course for A Level Physics

Free Advancing Physics Revision Guide eBooks are available to schools and colleges - visit the OCR eBooks site to find out more.

We are delighted to announce that the Institute of Physics' Advancing Physics resources are now part of Oxford University Press.

This AS and A2 course is well-resourced and up-to-date. It is specifically designed to encourage interest in physics and motivate both teachers and students.

• Makes physics exciting and relevant as it is contemporary in content and modes of delivery
• Is attractive and accessible to the widest possible variety of students to suit all your students
• Is engaging as it sets physics in a variety of contexts, illustrating connections with everyday life, people, places and cultures
• Rewards students for initiative and commitment and allows them to develop their own interests
• Fully supports and recognizes the use of essential mathematical methods in physics, helping students to understand them
• Fully supports teachers using extensive tried and tested resources

"It allows teachers to develop their own teaching style, using resources, questions, support texts, ideas accordingly, meeting individual teachers' needs as well as individual pupil needs."

"Quite apart from the support you get from the resources, and the fact that AP is forward-looking and adventurous rather than retrospective and timid, and that it has the enthusiastic support of the Institute of Physics EL you have this community of AP teachers EL where we all have the same enthusiasm and excitement for the subject and where teachers and examiners share a common purpose."

"The first thing I did on moving to my current school 12 months ago was to introduce Advancing Physics into year 12. Some of the then year 13 students were a bit put out that they didn't get to do it. I find that there is plenty of real physics in there but it is presented in a far more interesting and relevant way than some 'traditional' courses. The ICT in the course will help prepare students for both employment and further study."
