Subject Code: 1PYI Length of course: Full Year Credit points: 20 points
Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of Year 10 Science.
Course Outline:
Science inquiry skills and science as a human endeavour are integral to students’ learning in this subject and are interwoven through their study of science understanding, which is organised into six topics. Through the study of these topics, students develop and extend their understanding of the interaction between matter, energy, and forces in linear motion, and electric circuits and the transfer and transformation of energy. They study the wave model to better understand how energy can be transferred through matter and space. Students examine the structure of matter, spontaneous nuclear reactions, and the ionising radiation that results from these processes.
Topics Covered:
Stage 1 Physics consists of the following topics:
Topic 1: Linear Motion and Forces
Topic 2: Electric Circuits
Topic 3: Waves
Topic 4: Heat
Topic 5: Energy and Momentum
Topic 6: Nuclear Models and Radioactivity
Assessment:
The following assessment types enable students to demonstrate their learning in Stage 1 Chemistry.
Assessment Type 1: Investigations Folio 50%
Assessment Type 2: Skills and Applications Tasks 50%
Students provide evidence of their learning through eight assessments of which
at least two practical investigations
at least two science as a human endeavour investigations
at least two skills and applications tasks.
Skills and applications tasks allow students to provide evidence of their learning in tasks that may be:
routine, analytical, and/or interpretative
posed in new and familiar contexts
individual or collaborative assessments, depending on the design of the assessment.
Folio tasks allow students provide evidence of their learning in relation to the following assessment design criteria:
