Course Outline
Year 12 Physics is a wonderful and simple course that delves further into the Physics you may have learned in Year 11 Science and below. The course introduces you to the core ideas that physicists use to understand the universe and the interactions within it .The content of the course covers the basic physics ideas in a wide variety of contexts, from Nuclear Reactions all the way to Direct Current Circuits. A solid foundation in Mathematics and especially Algebra is strongly recommended.
