Approx Cost:
Workbook $15.00
Technology Requirements:
A laptop is essential for this course
Entry Recommendations:

This subject is open entry.  Students who have enjoyed physics topics in junior science and/or are planning to do physics in year 12 are strongly advised to take this subject.

Course Outline:

Investigate aspects of energy through experiments, calculations and research

  • Thermal
  • Mechanical
  • Electrical

 

Establish mathematics skills for senior physics using the context of energy:

  • Substitutions
  • Rearranging
  • Simple algebra

Fair Testing Investigation based on a physics context

 

Where Does It Lead:

This course would fit well alongside any other year 11 science. This could lead to completing study in senior Physics at Lincoln High School. Relevant careers could include Science, Engineering, Electrician, Research and Development,  Geology, Meteorology. Students who are looking at careers in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields are recommended to consider taking more than two semesters of science such as 11BIO, 11CHE, 11PHY, 11SCI, 11AHS, 11SCB, 11AMS or 11FSC.
