12PHY Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr A. Wallace.
Recommended Prior LearningMust have gained Achieved or more in Everyone has potential assessment, plus 2 other assessments (Ionically it matters, Under the microscope and/or Science Fair). Total of 3 out of 4 assessments passed.
Objectives
In their study of Physics, students will use their developing scientific knowledge, skills and attitudes to
- Demonstrate an understanding of concepts, principles and models.
- Apply concepts and principles to explain physical phenomena, systems and devices.
- Describe how physical theories and models have been developed.
- Explain how development in physics-based applications can lead to changes in society.
Content
The modules include
- Mechanics.
- Electricity.
- Atomic & Nuclear Physics.
- Light and waves (Option 1)
- Physics in context (Option 2)
Students must select one or both of the option modules.
The use of electronic devices will be an integral part of the learning process and it will be a significant disadvantage if students do not have a personal device.
