John Paul II High School
Level 3 Physics
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Francis Vithayathil.
Physics is the study of nature and the properties of matter, forces and energy.
In Physics students apply skills learnt in Mathematics to real world examples.
In this course, students will:
Investigate physical phenomena (in the areas of mechanics, electricity, electromagnetism, light and waves, and atomic and nuclear physics).
Analyse and evaluate data to deduce complex trends and relationships in physical phenomena.
Use physics ideas to explain and discuss an application of physics.
