PHYSC1

Physics Level 1

Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Moratti.

In this course we will explore and explain the nature and properties of matter and energy. Through investigating the physical world, ākonga will describe, explain, and predict physical phenomena using models, laws, and theories of physics. Concepts such as motion, force, and energy will be used to create an understanding of the physical world, its systems, and its processes.                                                        

                                                        

Course Specific Stationery
