Physics

Course summary

What will you study in Year 12? In Year 12, topics include studying ideas from the fundamental groundings of Newtonian mechanics and Waves through to the fascinating world of Particles and Quantum phenomena, from behaviour of Materials to the study of Electricity. Student will also develop their practical, analytical and mathematical problem-solving skills. What will you study in Year 13? In Year 13, students reinforce and broaden the content covered during Year 12, through the study of Further Mechanics and the practicalities of Electric, Magnetic and Gravitational Fields. We also introduce some of the fundamentals which underpin Thermal Physics and the Radioactive Decay. The Engineering Physics topic provides an ideal opportunity to review and apply key concepts such as Rotational Dynamics and Thermodynamics to engineering and technology.
