Physics 1 

In this course you will study Level 1 Mechanics which covers the following:

• Distance, speed, forces, gravity, acceleration, graphs of motion

• Pressure, work and power, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and the conservation of mechanical energy in free fall situations

• These will be related to everyday experiences such as journeys, sport and performance.

As part of the course, you will also learn valuable scientific skills that are essential to understanding and conducting research in a physics investigation. This investigation offers 4 credits at Level 2 and is optional for students. However, students who choose to opt out of the internal assessment will still participate in the learning process and complete the investigation to develop their skills, even though they will not receive credits. This option allows all students to engage in hands-on learning, with or without assessment, to strengthen their scientific knowledge and skills.
