VCE Physics
Physics involves investigating, understanding and explaining the behaviour of physical phenomena in the Universe VCE Physics enables students to use observations, experiments, measurements to develop qualitative and quantitative explanations for phenomena. They explore the big ideas that changed the course of thinking in physics such as relativity and quantum physics Seymour College / 2
Course Overview Unit 1: How is energy useful to society Students endeavor to understand light, thermal energy, radioactivity, nuclear processes and electricity.research investigation Unit 2: How does physics help us to understand the world? Students investigate the ways in which forces are involved both in moving objects and in keeping objects stationary and apply these concepts to a chosen case study of motion. practical investigation Unit 3: How do fields explain motion and electricity? Students compare and contrast three fundamental fields gravitational, magnetic and electric and how they relate to one another. Unit 4: How have creative ideas and investigation revolutionised thinking in physics? students explore some monumental changes in thinking in Physics that have changed the course of how physicists understand and investigate the Universe.
