Level 3 Physics
13PHY Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr A. Townshend.
Topics CoveredThis course covers a range of physics topics including electricity, mechanics and forces.
Students apply theory to practical application throughout the year.
This is a necessary prerequisite for specialist fields such as those advancing to tertiary study in Architecture, Agriculture, Engineering, Food Processing and Physical and Health Sciences, including medical technologies.
Level 3 Physics
Physics seeks to understand nature at its most fundamental level. The study of Physics seeks to discover the inner workings of nature in systems ranging in size from the smallest elementary particles such as quarks, protons, and neutrons to superclusters of galaxies. Physicists - and students studying physics - attempt to discover and apply the general laws that govern force and motion, matter and energy, and space and time. Physics explains the science that underlies the behaviour of everyday things such as cars and bridges as well as abstract things such as the curvature of space time near a black hole.
