Level 2 Physics
2PHY Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr A. Reddy.
Who would be interested in this course?This course is designed to cater for students:
- with a general interest in physics and how it affects the world around them, and reviews key concepts from Year 11 Science before pushing into the higher level concepts of Level Two.
- whose chosen career pathway leads to tertiary study within Physics, Engineering or related fields and continues straight on from the end of Year 11 Science.
- this course is open to any student, however having chosen a Year 11 Physics focused course is an advantage.
Through demonstrations and experiments, students will experience physical events in the real world and describe mathematical relationships between different variables. The entire course is supported by PowerPoint presentations and computer animations aid understanding by allowing complex concepts to be visualised. Course workbooks are used to improve problem solving skills and test the application of theory to real life contexts. Videos, research and class discussions further enhance the students understanding and enjoyment of the course.
