Level 2 Physics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr Hafiz.
The level 2 Physics program aims to understand nature at its most fundamental levels. Physicists and students will attempt to apply the general laws governing force and motion, matter and energy, and space and time. Learning Physics can help explain the science that underlies the behavior of everyday things such as cars and bridges as well as abstract things such as the curvature of space-time near a black hole.
This course offers 19 credits from two internal assessments and two external achievement standards. The Internal achievement standards consist of a test and a practical assessment. The students are expected to use the skills learned to plan and carry out practical work, and show safe practice for all experimental work. Students are expected to take responsibility for their learning, by reading relevant chapters in the textbook and completing all class work and homework.
