Motion and forces quantified, and the physics of electricity generation and nuclear energy.
These are the statements the Science Year 10 syllabus makes about Physical World. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
Distance, displacement, speed and velocity - Physical World, Year 10.
Acceleration and motion graphs - Physical World, Year 10.
Newton's laws of motion - Physical World, Year 10.
Work, energy and power - Physical World, Year 10.
Momentum and collisions - Physical World, Year 10.
Electricity generation and electromagnetism - Physical World, Year 10.
Nuclear fission and fusion - Physical World, Year 10.
Energy resources and their trade-offs - Physical World, Year 10.
Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Physical World are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Science Year 10 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Physical World is module 3 of 4 in Science Year 10. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Science Year 10 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
