Teacher in Charge: Mrs E. Butterworth
A study of Mechanics, Optics, Electricity and Nuclear Physics with Energy the theme, integrating the whole course. As physics is heavily mathematics based a strong understanding of Level 1 Mathematics is recommended.
NCEA Level 3 Physics, NECA Level 3 Science
Recommended Prior LearningIn order to gain entrance into Level 2 Physics students are required to gain 14 Credits or better in NCEA Level 1 Science. As part of this requirement students must Achieve at least 8 external credits, 4 of which must come from the Mechanics external.
It is also highly recommended that students pass the following Mathematics papers:
