Knowledge and understanding

Year 11 objectives

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of fundamental mechanics

Year 11 course outcomes A student:
PH11-8 describes and analyses motion in terms of scalar and vector quantities in two dimensions and makes quantitative measurements and calculations for distance, displacement, speed velocity and acceleration
PH11-9 describes and explains events in terms of Newton’s Laws of Motion, the law of conservation of momentum and the law of conservation of energy

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of energy

Year 11 course outcomes A student:
PH11-10 explains and analyses waves and the transfer of energy by sound, light and thermodynamic principles
PH11-11 explains and quantitatively analyses electric fields, circuitry and magnetism

Year 12 objectives

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of advanced mechanics and electromagnetism

Year 12 course outcomes A student:
PH12-12 describes and analyses qualitatively and quantitatively circular motion and motion in a gravitational field, in particular, the projectile motion of particles
PH12-13 explains and analyses the electric and magnetic interactions due to charged particles and currents and evaluates their effect both qualitatively and quantitatively

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of the role of evidence and prediction in the development of theories in physics

Year 12 course outcomes A student:
PH12-14 describes and analyses evidence for the properties of light and evaluates the implications of this evidence for modern theories of physics in the contemporary world
PH12-15 explains and analyses the evidence supporting the relationship between astronomical events and the nucleosynthesis of atoms and relates these to the development of the current model of the atom
