Welcome to APHY001 - Physics Year 11, an exciting and intellectually stimulating course designed to introduce you to the fundamental principles that govern the physical world. Aligned with the Australian Curriculum, this course provides a comprehensive foundation in key physics concepts and their practical applications, preparing you for advanced study in Year 12 and beyond.

Throughout the year, you will explore topics such as motion, energy, waves, and the structure of matter. You will develop an understanding of the laws and models that scientists use to describe natural phenomena, and learn how to apply these to explain and predict real-world behaviours — from the motion of projectiles and vehicles to the transmission of sound and light.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, this course places a strong emphasis on scientific inquiry skills. You will engage in practical investigations, analyse data, and apply critical thinking to evaluate evidence and draw conclusions. These experiences will not only deepen your understanding of physics but also nurture your curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and scientific literacy.

Physics is a dynamic field that connects with many areas of science, technology, and engineering. By studying this subject, you’ll gain insights into the workings of our universe and the tools to engage with emerging technologies and innovations. Whether your interests lie in engineering, environmental science, medicine, or simply understanding how things work, Year 11 Physics provides a vital step in your academic and personal growth.

Get ready to question, experiment, and discover the fascinating world of physics!
