School - Upper School Subjects

Students study the concepts of physics as they apply in five areas:  sound waves; electric power; movement; atomic physics; and structures and materials.  Understanding is developed in a number of contexts including musical instruments, electricity generation, bridge and building design, etc.

Physics provides a basis for further study in this field and in other pure and applied sciences, and engineering.  In addition, it will extend students' understanding of natural phenomena, technological applications and our cultural scientific heritage.
