Physics
The study of Physics in Stage 6 aims to enable students to develop an appreciation and understanding of the application of the principles of Physics, and of the theories, laws, models, systems and structures of Physics. It also enables students to apply Working Scientifically skills processes to examine Physics models and practices and their applications.
The Year 11 Course develops student’s knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to the study of motion, how we describe it and what causes it. The course also examines energy in its different forms and how we describe and measure electricity and magnetism and their interrelated effects.
The Year 12 Course provides avenues for students to apply the concepts they were introduced to in Year 11 to motion in two dimensions, electromagnetism, theories of light, the atom and the Universe.
