Physics 2.7 Demonstrate understanding of physics in an integrated context
Achievement criteria
The way you respond to questions/tasks (both descriptive and mathematical) will indicate to your teacher your understanding of the physics involved when the context draws from more than one physics content area. The complexity of the situation and problem-solving process will determine the level of performance that you will gain.
Minor errors (computational or transcription) will not be penalised if the process used to determine the solution is clearly indicated and is valid.
Achievement
- Identify or describe aspects of phenomena, concepts, or principles in an integrated context.
- Approach the question from a physical perspective when describing the relevant physics concept.
- Solve straightforward problems which involve a single-step process.
- Draw simple, labelled diagrams.
Achievement with Merit
- Give accurate explanations in terms of phenomena, concepts, principles, and/or relationships.
- Approach the question from a physical perspective when explaining the relevant physics concept.
- Solve problems that may involve using a complex formula or rearrangement or some deduction as to the relevant concept or principle involved.
- Draw accurate, labelled diagrams.
- State answers using the correct significant figures and avoid rounding off prematurely.
Achievement with Excellence
- Give concise and accurate explanations that show clear understanding in terms of phenomena, concepts, principles, and/or relationships. Your answers will typically have minimal irrelevancies. In other words, you cannot include any explanations that are not relevant. Do not guess!
- Approach the question from a physical perspective linking your explanations to the relevant physics concept.
- Solve complex problems which will involve more than one process and concept.
