Level 3 Physics

Almost any scientific problem can be approached using the ideas and methods of physics. The Level 3 Physics program aims to help you understand why things in the natural world happen the way they do. It enables you to explain, for example, how buildings move in an earthquake, why a car takes as long as it does to come to a stop when the brakes are applied, why the sky is blue and grass green, and why the supports of a bridge have to be of certain dimensions. You can use your understanding to predict how an object will behave under particular conditions, improve the functioning of everyday objects, and envisage new developments.
