Whangaparaoa College
Level 2 Physics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs B. Menezes.
This is an academic course to best prepare learners for the L3 Physics course. Physics is the science that has an impact on all our lives ranging from the mobile phones we use daily to nuclear power stations that generate electricity. Physics uses mathematics as an important tool and it is therefore recommended that learners have good mathematical skills. Learners will build their skills in problem solving and communicating ideas.
Recommended Prior Learning
Level 2 Physics requires high ability in Math. To succeed in this course it is recommended that learners have obtained Achieved or better in the 92045 Physics Phenomenon Investigation AND at least achieved in one of the Algebra standards (AS91027 or AS91029) on top of already having L1 Numeracy.
