12 Physics 2
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Sarnia Slabbert.
Students will:
- Prepare for NCEA assessment at Level 2
- Study mechanics, electromagnetism, and atomic and nuclear physics
- Demonstrate understanding of physics relevant to a selected context
Open to Year 12 and 13 students only
** The 13PY2 course does not meet the Physics entry requirements of the BE (Hons) Degree at the University of Auckland.
*** If students do the 12PY2 course they will be eligible for the 13PY1 course if they pass both externals at merit or higher level (or students can do the 13PY2 course the following year).
