Advanced Higher Physics Investigation Guidance Candidate Information (a) Introduction The Investigation is a piece of individual research undertaken to prove that you can: research a physics topic from various sources which may include textbooks, journals and the worldwide web; design and plan experiments; carry out experiments safely and accurately to collect data; process and present the.. Unit outline The general aim of this Unit is to develop skills of scientific inquiry, investigation, analytical thinking, independent working and knowledge and understanding of investigating physics.
Here in the Physics Department at the University of Strathclyde, we recognise the importance of the Advanced Higher Physics course and its overlap with the first year physics content in our degrees. We offer an exemption from the 1st semester physics class PH 151 Mechanics, Optics and Waves, for any applicant/student who has achieved a grade A.. Advanced Higher Physics Investigation The Scottish Qualifications Agency (SQA) requires that all Advanced Higher (AH) physics pupils conduct a practical physics investigation. The investigation aims to develop practical and experimental skills through a practical project plus provide opportunity for both self-motivation and organisation skills. A collaboration between the Department of Physics.
