Physics

Course summary

Physics is the study of proven truths that we experience daily. Gravity, force, acceleration, energy and electricity are the proven truths we use daily. Physics entails understanding the fundamental principles that govern our Universe such as the science of stars, comets, dark matter and much more. The thinking processes in Physics stretch and expand the minds of our students, building on their knowledge and providing them with opportunities to think critically while constructing new meanings in physics. This encourages our young scientists to be curious, creative and inculcate the mental toughness necessary in life. By studying Physics, our young 21st century students develop their own knowledge and skills essential for applying new technology in the world of engineering and research. Core content 1.
