NCEA Level 2 Physics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr H. Wiramanaden.

This course extends on concepts covered in NCEA Level 1 Physics.  The Internal component of the course is aimed at familiarising students with skills and practices required when working in a laboratory and includes analysis of data and an extended practical investigation.  The External component provides a sound basis in the fundamental concepts of Physics including mechanics, electricity, light and wave phenomena. This will benefit all students wishing to pursue a career in the Sciences.

Recommended Prior Learning

It is recommended that students have achieved AS92047 (Demonstrate understanding of a physical system using energy concepts ) and at least one of AS92021 (Demonstrate understanding of chemical reactions in context ) or AS91921 (Demonstrate understanding of the use of a range of scientific investigative approaches in a context ) from NCEA Science Level 1. 

It is beneficial if students have achieved AS91947 (Demonstrate mathematical reasoning) from NCEA Mathematics Level 1.
