CONTENT

ASSESSMENT

Observations and measurement of motion and energy transformations, analysed through systems and models, leads to an understanding of the relationship between forces and motion.

Relationships

Unit 1: Relationships between Forces, Motion and Energy

Research Assignment 1 Criterion D 13.02.18 – 09.03.18 Student Experiment 1 Criteria B and C 17.04.18 – 11.05.18

Energy

Movement

 Measurements and units  Calculating speed and acceleration  Forces and vector application  Newton’s Laws of Motion  Transfer of energy

Semester 1 Exams Criterion A 28.05.18 – 01.06.18

ONE

Observations and measurement of the evidence and form of energy transfer, allows modelling and scientific and technical application of waves.

Scientific and Technical Innovation

Form

 Light and Colour  Sound

Evidence

 Reflection in plane mirrors  Reflection in curved mirrors  Refraction

The world is dependent on transforming stored energy into usable forms; we look to transform the stored energy in natural resources to produce electrical energy to sustain our way of life in a responsible and sustainable manner.
