This internally assessed unit is worth 5 credits. It involves:
describing relevant physics concepts in a practical setting
describing relationships involved in a physical phenomenon, using evidence.
We will be investigating and modelling the contexts of truck stop ramps, and space junk re-entering our atmosphere to carry out our practical investigation.
In this unit students will be describing energy transfer and transformation in a physical system using evidence as well as describing relevant energy concepts related to mechanics, thermal energy, and electricity.
In this unit we will be discussing the implications of conservation of mass in the context of 5 different types of chemical reaction, with reference to predictable patterns, observations, and equations.
The five different reactions we will be exploring are:
neutralisation
combustion
precipitation
combination
decomposition
