NCEA Level 3 Physics (Extension)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Watson
The Physics Department at Burnside High School aims to empower students with the ability to critically analyse a situation and approach a new situation with confidence, while gaining knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principles of Physics. Students are encouraged to use scientific methods to challenge current thinking.
Your teachers are keen to help you understand more about the Universe and value the study of Physics.
We aim to present an interesting course that will be relevant to those intending to study Physics at a tertiary institute, as well as students completing their Physics education at Level 3.
This course covers the same material as the standard Level 3 Physics course, but with an emphasis on the extra optional Scholarship exam. Students will be expected to prepare for and enter this exam.
