Physics in Focus HSC Course Student Book Plus Access Card for 4 Years
Author(s): Xiao Wu
Physics in Focus has set a new standard for supporting the New South Wales Stage 6 Science syllabuses. Each text aims to give physics a new relevance for your students and motivate them to succeed in this challenging course. Physics in Focus uses the dot point approach, ensuring all syllabus content is covered logically, and integrates first-hand and secondary source investigations throughout. The series emphasises the contexts formed by the PFAs and provides specific examples relating to these broader issues to increase understanding. The NelsonNet student website enhances the learning experience with extra resources such as animated simulations, worked examples and further mathematical work relating to the Solve and Analyse dot points. Also included are module and option mind maps, videos demonstrating surgical procedures and answers to all chapter questions. Also available as an interactive NelsonNetBook, either as a supplement to the printed text or as a standalone option for schools seeking a digital-only resource solution.
