1 Beyond the Thills excusions Teaches notes Physics is the science of how the wold (and Univese) woks. Luna Pak Sydney is a lage hands-on physics laboatoy full of fee falling objects, otating systems and collisions. A Beyond the Thills excusion to Luna Pak Sydney will allow you students to expeience the thills of the ides and to study the motion, foces and enegy tansfomations on the ides. Obseving the laws of physics in action will allow you students to see that physics is fun, and that it is not just fo geeks. Remembe, if a student is too scaed o has a medical condition that pevents them fom going on a paticula ide(s), they can still make most of thei obsevations and take all of the measuements with both of thei feet fimly on the gound. Remembe, a teified ide will not lean any physics. Woksheets in this book This book contains woksheets fo: Stage 6 Physics [Notes: * Science 7-10 woksheets (geneal set) and Stages 4 & 5 Science woksheets ae available sepaately. * Stage 6 Biology o Senio Science woksheets ae also available (if equested when making you booking.] * Excusions ae also available fo pimay students: Science & Technology - Beyond the Thills Excusion woksheets ae in a sepaate book, along with woksheets fo Mathematics and English, othe pimay woksheets available ae Pee Suppot and Visual Ats.] Completing the woksheets Stage 6 Physics it is not expected that students will do the woksheets fo all ides, as some involve simila physics concepts. Students should answe questions fo selected ides, o altenatively, diffeent goups could do diffeent ides and shae thei findings back at school. Physics Depth Study based on using data fom the Stage 6 Physics woksheets A Beyond the Thills excusion is geat fo incopoating in a Depth Study fo Stage 6 Physics - as it can be used to cove a ange of Woking Scientifically skills and syllabus content aeas. At least one depth study must be included in both Yea 11 and Yea 12 incopoating the two Woking Scientifically outcomes of Questioning and Pedicting, and Communicating, plus two additional Woking Scientifically skills outcomes, and futhe development of at least one Knowledge and Undestanding outcome. Beyond the Thills excusions give students an oppotunity to collect fist-hand data on a vaiety of ides at Luna Pak Sydney. The data obseved and collected needs to analysed and pocessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Teaches ae encouaged to design a Depth Study that entails utilising the data collected fom one o moe ides to futhe exploe one o moe of the syllabus content aeas. Students need to collect thei own data on the day of the excusion and so answes ae not povided fo these woksheets. Students can wok individually o collaboatively to futhe develop one o moe of the concepts in eithe the Yea 11 o Yea 12 syllabuses. This will allow them to acquie a depth of undestanding, and take esponsibility fo thei own leaning. Beyond the Thills - Physics Stage (only fo use when booked with Beyond the Thills) 7

2 Syllabus links Rationale fo Beyond the Thills excusions Science plays an impotant pat in ou lives. Knowledge about ou physical wold can be gained in a elevant and fun way though a Beyond the Thills excusion to Luna Pak Sydney. These excusions povide a unique oppotunity fo students to expeience at fist hand the physics pinciples behind the motion, foces and enegy in opeation on the ides. The vaious ides povide a demonstation of motion in a contolled manne on a scale that is impossible to eceate in the laboatoy. Students will make obsevations and ecod thei findings, and answe qualitative questions about the ides. Fom this they can detemine and analyse the foces on the body caused by the motion of the ides and the enegy tansfomations that occu. Stage 6 Physics as amended 2010 syllabus Aim To investigate the motion, foces and enegy expeienced on the ides at Luna Pak Sydney. Objectives elated to the syllabus Paticipation in this excusion, will enable students to: bette undestand the physical wold and how it woks develop an appeciation and undestanding of how the pinciples of physics apply to the motion, foces and enegy expeienced on fun pak ides gain an appeciation of how physics pinciples studied in the classoom apply to lage-scale phenomena gain an appeciation of the value of woking in a team to accomplish measuing and calculating tasks collect qualitative data about the motion, foces and enegy elated to fun pak ides quantitatively analyse the motion, foces and enegy elated to fun pak ides develop knowledge and undestanding of the kinematics, dynamics, gavity, enegy and electomagnetism elated to fun pak ides.
