Physics

ScholarKid provides the foundation for understanding the material world. It is essential that all students are taught essential knowledge, methods and processes in science. A firm understanding of how the complex and diverse phenomena of the natural world can be described using key ideas which are inter-linked and have a universal application.

• the use of conceptual models and theories to make sense of the observed diversity of natural phenomena
• the assumption that every effect has one or more cause
• that change is driven by differences between different objects and systems when they interact
• that many such interactions occur over a distance without direct contact
• that science progresses through a cycle of hypothesis, practical experimentation, observation, theory development and review
• that quantitative analysis is a central element both of many theories and of scientific methods of inquiry.
