Physics - Te Mātai Ahupūngao

A variety of everyday contexts will be used to investigate phenomena and learn about concepts involving matter and energy. This includes the interference of light & waves and how they are involved in our everyday lives, the physics behind rotational and simple harmonic motion, gravity and satellites. Students are introduced to quantum theory, E = mc2 and the duality of light and their applications. Students can elect to study the nature of AC electricity, inductance & capacitance or the applications of physics to current technology.
