Level 3 Physics

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 Level Two Physics before pushing into the higher level concepts of Level Three.

The course is supported by PowerPoint presentations and computer animations aid understanding by allowing complex concepts to be visualised. Through demonstrations and experiments students experience physical events in the real world and are able to determine mathematical relationships. 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. The course builds upon the L2 Physics course and expands the students’ knowledge of physics and its applications. For the best learning opportunities, it is recommended that students also study 3MAC as the skills taught in that course are directly relevant to the equations used in physics.

Physics is an important pre-requisite for most science, engineering, technology, medical, electrical, aviation, geology, energy management, oceanography qualifications at tertiary level.
