L2PHY

Physics Level 2

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: T. Gee, Mr A. Weatherall.

NCEA Level 2 Physics will utilise a mix of internal and external assessments to build on and extend the physics you learn in Level 1 Science. You will start looking more in-depth into how the world works across multiple topics and why things act the way they do. Internal assessments will look at atomic physics and undergo a practical investigation. External assessments will consider how the mechanics of our world work together and you will also have the opportunity to look at waves and electricity (if time allows). This is an important subject to study for multiple career options, and essential for engineering.

For further information about Level 2 Physics see Mr Weatherall or Mrs Gee
