OCR	Physics	1982	How Science Works Block 4.6 The Earth and Universe Explain that theories for the origin of the universe must take into account that: light from other galaxies is shifted to the red end of the spectrum the further away galaxies are, the greater the red shift Recognise that one way of explaining this is that: other galaxies are moving away from us very quickly galaxies furthest from us are moving fastest Explain how knowledge of the rate of expansion of the universe enables its age to be estimated.Explain that there are possible futures for the universe depending on the amount of mass in the universe and the speed at which the galaxies are moving apart. Interpret given information about developments in ideas on the origin of the Universe.	√√ √√	√	√√ √√	√	√√ √√	√ √

	Physics	360Physics2109	How Science Works P3 Topic 5: Particles in Action Particles range in size from quarks in nucleons to molecules in gases and other forms of matter. An understanding of the behaviour of these particles can help scientists explain phenomena ranging from the sub-nuclear scale to the macroscopic scale. This topic may be used to show that scientific ideas, such as particle models, change over time and that today there are some questions that scientists cannot answer at the moment such as - 'is a quark made from smaller particles?' Is there anything smaller than protons, neutrons and electrons? Is anti-matter real, or just science fiction?Why do some scientists spend their lives on an experiment consisting of 27km of empty space? P3 Topic 6: Medical Physics This unit enables students to study how applications of physics in medical science can be used for non-invasive investigations of medical conditions, including the use of positron emission tomography (PET). The use of radiation treatments by hospital physicists to destroy some types of malignant growths is also studied. How can you 'see' things inside the human body? The bombardment of certain stable elements with proton radiation to make them into radioactive isotopes that usually emit positrons. What happens when a positron meets with an electron (they annihilate each other with the production of gamma rays). Examples of the use of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning.	√√ √√	√	√√ √√	√ √ √√	√√ √√ √	√ √√
