L1 Physics, Earth & Space Science (L1SPE)
L1SPE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr L. Oliver.
Recommended Prior LearningRecommendation from your Science Teacher or HOF Science, based on your performance in year 10.
This course is designed for students who have in interest in how Physics influences the Earth and Universe around us. Comprising a mixture of Physics standards and Earth and Space Science Standards, students will develop a basic understanding of key Physics concepts, including practical skills, along with everyday cycles that happen on Earth and in Space.
Note: Students who are looking to follow a Science based career, should choose to take L12 Double Science to get the best preparation and greatest choice of pathways.
Learning Areas:
Pathway
This course leads into Physical Science based careers such as Engineering, Architecture and some Health Sciences. Your Science teacher can give you advice in this.
