Nuffield Physics: Year III

In this year of the Nuffield Physics course, students were encouraged to become more mature scientists by trying to extract some general rules from experiments. There was more emphasis on generalising and abstracting than in the previous two years – leading to an introduction to more formal explanations of observed phenomena.

Year III topics
1. Waves
2. Optics
3. Motion and force
4. Molecules in motion
5. Electromagnetism
6. Cells and voltage
7. Electrostatics
8. A fruitful theory
