This standard asks you to pick a real-world context or situation that involves physics and show that you understand how the physics concepts apply to it. You need to explain the physics ideas clearly and then go deeper by explaining *why* and *how* those physics ideas work in your chosen context.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Select a real context (technology, sport, nature, or biology) that involves physics at Level 7 (Year 12 curriculum level)
- ·Identify and describe the physics principles or concepts that apply to your chosen context
- ·Explain how and why those physics ideas are relevant to what's happening in your context
- ·Show connections between different physics ideas and how they work together in your context
- ·Provide reasons, justifications, and analysis rather than just stating facts
AAchieved
You describe the physics concepts and explain what physics is happening in your chosen context without much depth.
MMerit
You go further by explaining the reasons why the physics works the way it does and how it connects to your context.
