A level Physics Live

‘Science Live’ for A-Level Physics was a great opportunity, particularly for those wishing to carry on with studies in Physics beyond A-Level. The event gave us an in-depth insight into the subject directly from Physicists involved in conducting research.

The lectures covered a wide range of Physics topics including ‘Do We Live in a Deterministic Universe?’ by Professor Jim Al-Khalili, who questioned the existence of free will using quantum indeterminacy. In Dr. Helen Czerski’s talk ‘From Bubbles to Oceans: The Big Wide World of Fluid Dynamics’, she discussed the structure of bubble plumes caused by breaking waves and their influence on the atmosphere. The show also included sessions from experienced examiner Lynn Pharaoh who provided some useful tips and advice on how to revise successfully for our A-Level examinations.

Attending the event uncovered the true breadth of Physics and its many applications in the World, and I feel very privileged to have been able to participate.
