=Year 11 Physics= =Unit 1 Investigations=

As part of your studies in Unit 1 of Physics you are required to undertake an independent investigation into one of Astronomy, Medical Physics, or Energy from the Nucleus.

When selecting your detailed study area, you should consider the following points. • What are most interested in? • Don’t choose a topic just because you think that it’s easier than the others or because your friends are doing it. • If you’re not interested in it, then you are less likely to produced high quality work.

For each of the three possible detailed studies, you must complete at least 4 of the Areas of Investigation listed in the relevant table.

Some class time will be devoted to working on your detailed study, however it is expected that a significant amount of work will be done on the investigation outside of class time.

It is expected that you will use this Wiki to collaborate with other class members investigating the same topic by posting summary notes, links and helpful info onto the relevant pages. **Participation in this is a compulsory element of your project.**
