2PHYS

Level 2 Physics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Shafie.

Study movement, energy, waves, and real-world physics with exciting go-karting experiences

Physics will help you to understand your world better and could lead to you using this understanding for the benefit of people and the environment.  In Level 2 Physics you will study ideas to do with movement (eg: projectiles, car crashes, moving in circles and navigation), electrical energy (circuits, making electricity, magnetic fields), and wave energy (lenses, mirrors, sound and sea waves).  Physics is important in many areas including medicine, transport, industry, telecommunications, all sports, flying, the armed forces and in the home.  You will also be able to go go-karting to enhance your understanding of the physics of collisions, cornering and safety features.
