infoWhy this? Thermal Physics connects microscopic particle motion with measurable properties such as temperature, pressure, and internal energy. These connections allow us to explain heating, changes of state, and gas behaviour using energy conservation and kinetic theory.

scheduleWhy now? At the start of Year 13, we can draw on Year 12 ideas about particles, momentum, and energy to construct more sophisticated models of thermal behaviour. This understanding establishes the foundations for thermodynamics, heat engines, and efficiency in Engineering Physics.
