Why Study PHYSICS? Physics is a theoretical and empirical science, which contributes to our understanding of the physical universe from the minute building blocks of matter to the unimaginably broad expanses of the Universe. This understanding has significance for the way we understand our place in the Universe. Physics includes the use of theories and models, investigation of hypotheses, collection and analysis of data, drawing conclusions, and selection and use of a range of appropriate technologies and mathematical techniques. Knowledge in physics is gained through complex processes. For example, theories developed as a result of studying the ways that matter interacts with matter, and the ways that light and matter mutually interact, have lead to innovations in medicine, electronics, energy use, telecommunications and materials science. This study design provides a curriculum that is interesting and challenging for students with a wide range of expectations, including students who are aiming for medical, engineering, technological and science-based careers.
