Theory for HSC Physics Teachers (10/9)

This NESA ACCREDITED workshop is designed for teachers new to teaching HSC Physics plus those who would like to refamiliarise themselves with the content, background theory and make connections across the different modules of the HSC Physics syllabus. We will be unpacking:

• Advanced Mechanics
• Electromagnetism
• The Nature of Light
• From the Universe to the Atom
• Opportunities for Depth Studies

In addition, we will connect with the 'assumed knowledge' from the Year 11 syllabus

NESA ACCREDITATION
