Cosmology (the study of the Universe) is a very popular choice
of study within A-level Physics. Students study the
creation and evolution of the Universe as well as studying
the
birth and death of stars (Red Giants, White Dwarfs,
Supernovae and Black Holes). The students also complete
a short presentation
on some aspect of the course and these presentations
can be viewed by you as part of your GCSE revision
tasks. We also organise a trip to Jodrell Bank Science
Centre
in Cheshire for a series of lectures by professional
astronomers and to view the famous Radio Telescope.
