This subject runs for a full year, and must be taken as a double science (01BIC and 01PES). Year 11's will otherwise have to take 01SCG, as Science is compulsory at Level 1.

Teacher in Charge: Matthew Towers (TWR)

In this course, students will learn about the physical world around us, examining how our understanding of the natural environment has developed over time and how physics concepts have contributed to this.

This course should be taken in combination with 01BIC (as a double science course).
