Physics Practical O Level 2022

[Raina Giorno]

MPPGsare intended to provide the medical community with a clear description of the minimum level of medical physics support that AAPM would consider to be prudent in all clinical practice settings. Support includes but is not limited to staffing, equipment, machine access, and training. These MPPGs are not designed to replace extensive Task Group reports or review articles, but rather to describe the recommended minimum level of medical physics support for specific clinical services.

To help identify gaps in guidance on various clinical topics, the Subcommittee on Practice Guidelines invites AAPM members to propose Medical Physics Practice Guideline (MPPG) topic ideas and to comment on proposed topics. You can do so in the MPPG Ideas forum on the BBS. Please read the stickied post there for more information on the MPPG initiative and the topic proposal process.

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) has long advocated a consistent level of medical physics practice, and has published many guidelines and position statements toward that goal, such as Science Council Task Group reports related to calibration and quality assurance, Education Council and Professional Council Task Group reports related to education, training and peer review, and Board-approved Position Statements related to the Scope of Practice, physicist qualifications, and other aspects of medical physics practice.

Despite these concerted and enduring efforts, the profession does not have a clear and concise statement of the acceptable practice guidelines for routine clinical medical physics. As accreditation of clinical practices becomes more common, Medical Physics Practice Guidelines (MPPGs) will be crucial to ensuring a consistent benchmark for accreditation programs.

At the 2011 AAPM Annual Meeting, the AAPM Board of Directors granted approval to develop MPPGs. The Professional Council is charged with executing the development and publication of the MPPGs. In creating MPPGs, a formal framework for developing Practice Guidelines was defined which can be referenced by clinical physicists, accreditation bodies, regulators, and hospital administrators when determining the minimum acceptable level of medical physics practice to support a clinical service.

AAPM will lead the development of MPPGs in collaboration with other professional societies. The MPPGs will be freely available to the general public. Accrediting organizations, regulatory agencies and legislators will be encouraged to reference these MPPGs when defining their respective requirements.

Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics builds on the skills acquired at Cambridge IGCSE (or equivalent) level. The syllabus includes the main theoretical concepts which are fundamental to the subject, some current applications of physics, and a strong emphasis on advanced practical skills. Practical skills are assessed in a timetabled practical examination.

The emphasis throughout is on the understanding of concepts and the application of physics ideas in novel contexts as well as on the acquisition of knowledge. The course encourages creative thinking and problem-solving skills which are transferable to any future career path. Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics is ideal for learners who want to study physics or a wide variety of related subjects at university or to follow a career in science.

We revise qualifications regularly to make sure that they continue to meet the needs of our learners, schools and higher education institutions around the world, and that they are up-to-date with current thinking. We have updated this syllabus and all assessment materials to improve the clarity and consistency between Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Extensive research through lesson observations, teacher interviews and work with The Cambridge Panel provides first-hand classroom support to the teacher and ESL learner in our new editions and helps your learners develop 21st century skills.

Confidently navigate the Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics (9702) syllabus with a structured approach ensuring that the link between theory and practice is consolidated, scientific skills are applied, and analytical skills developed.

As the awarding standard has now returned to the pre-pandemic standard, we are working to produce up-to-date grade descriptions for most of our general qualifications. These will be based on the awarding standards in place from June 2023 onwards.

Teachers at registered Cambridge schools can unlock over 30 000 teaching and learning resources to help plan and deliver Cambridge programmes and qualifications, including Schemes of work, Example candidate responses, Past papers, Specimen paper answers, as well as digital and multimedia resources.

Effective A level practical work: physics will provide you with a range of both practical and pedagogical experience to support practical science in your subject. You will build the disciplinary knowledge required to teach practical work and investigate a joined-up approach to progression across the curriculum. We will also look at developing concepts through practical work and how to build student understanding towards practical work questions.

Our mapping document shows the list of core practicals, matched to the essential skills and techniques in our specifications. The mapping document also shows you our recommendations for which CPAC skills to assess on each core practical.

We also provide student materials for developing investigative skills that will encourage a deeper understanding of the underlying science behind practicals, guide students to think independently as scientists and help their preparations for AS and A level assessments.

The Royal Society of Chemistry has a wealth of support for practical work on its website. As part of their support for schools teaching A level Chemistry, the RSC has mapped some of its practical resources to the techniques and apparatus that all A level students must experience (those skills in Appendix 5c). They have also indicated which resources might be suitable for schools looking at each of our core practical activities.

We developed this scheme to provide A Level students in Local Widening participation schools the opportunity to fulfil their potential and expand their horizons. By providing access to excellent laboratory facilities and academic expertise we hope it will inspire confidence and lead to students wishing to study physics at undergraduate level

The scheme gives students from local schools the opportunity to perform the required A Level experiments here at Newcastle University. The scheme is open to schools which would fall into the Widening Participation category and others who do not have access to the required equipment.

There will be no charge for the scheme from the University. The school is expected to oversee the transport of students to and from the University, and to make any charges for this which they would normally do. Experiments are to be carried out within school hours, as this makes it very much easier to organise on both sides. We expect a teacher to be present and to lead the session.

Students will be encouraged to work in pairs, and to collect data to take away with them. A member of University staff will be present together with a technician and undergraduate student mentors. University staff will not lead the sessions, but will offer insight into the experiment or results obtained.

Any relevant questions about the University are encouraged. Our degree programs and entry routes will be discussed. It is hoped that contact with staff and students from the University will be beneficial both to the school students and the teachers.

Our tutors have a wealth of experience and have helped thousands of A-level students achieve their desired grades over the years. They are highly knowledgeable about the A-level syllabus and are fully equipped to prepare you for your practical exams. You can feel confident in their abilities to guide you towards success.

To excel in the practical components of your A-Level Physics exams is challenging with limited time and attention given in school. This leads many students to fend for themselves when it comes to Practical paper hands-on practice.

The H2 Physics A-Level syllabus is all about taking your understanding of Physics to the next level! It builds upon the topics covered in O-Level and expands your knowledge even further.

Physics at A-levels requires a thorough understanding of concepts and real-world practice. Problem-solving skills are a must, which we drill for our students in our Physics tuition classes. Kept small, you will always be guaranteed individual attention and be able to ask the tutors questions you need help in. Sign up for our JC Physics tuition classes.

You can register personally at any one of our branches during our operating hours. Alternatively, you may call our hotline 9119-9655 to register. Please note that phone registration does not constitute a reservation of a seat in the program. Only upon payment for the program will the seat(s) be reserved.

Thank you for the continuous and consistent effort in teaching our class throughout my JC years. It is my honour to have been taught by you. Thank you for encouraging me and showing care and concern for me at all times not only in class but also outside of class. Thank you for being so detailed and patient in your explanations of concepts that I just could not grasp. I thank you again for your wonderful mentoring and wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
