Shell Guide to the Curriculum 2023

Physics

Great physicists are able to make decisions, using logic to guide them. Our Shell curriculum is written so that you will be using equipment during almost every lesson, thinking about how to create experiments which will test your theories and give you usable data. You will learn how to scan through information and identify trends and patterns which may exist there. Your ability to use logic will be tested through challenging preps, which may have both a

mathematical and written focus. You will assess risk and participate in experiments which require careful thinking about safety. By the end of your Shell year we believe you will have learned the basic decision-making tools which will enable you to tackle the GCSE content in the Fourth and Fifth Forms.
