Physics - Te Mātai Ahupūngao

Various everyday contexts are used to study the physical phenomena that govern our world. Students will investigate the behaviour of light and waves and how they are involved in our everyday lives, and the physics behind circular motion, springs, and projectiles. They will be introduced to nuclear reactions and radioactivity and their applications in medicine and industry. Students can also elect to study the nature of electricity and magnetism and their applications to technology, or the applications of physics to current technology.
