"Don't bring bias into account when telling me why the new changes to physics (more writing less math) are good"
I'm curious to hear from you. Do you support this change, if so why?
| But according to the University of NSW's associate professor of physics Joe Wolfe, the new version is producing many first year university students who are not capable of handling the complex maths required at tertiary level ... The history, politics of science and contextual discussions introduced into the HSC course have been at the expense of analytical reasoning and mathematical rigour, he said. |
| The president of the NSW Board of Studies, Gordon Stanley, disagrees. The new syllabus had retained and even strengthened the discipline's basic laws and principles while also addressing contemporary developments and perspectives, he said. |
are you accel?
why should physics be doable without a maths prereq?? i completely agree with @Eatham that the prereq should be higher, it would open physics up to the possibility of teaching so much more cool stuff without worrying about standard kids who cant do calculus or other relatively simple maths
These dot points are verbatim from https://curriculum.nsw.edu.au/learning-areas/science/physics-11-12-2025/content/year-12/fa915fab52. Aboriginal bs like this was absent in the 2017 syllabus.why should physics be doable without a maths prereq?? i completely agree with @Eatham that the prereq should be higher, it would open physics up to the possibility of teaching so much more cool stuff without worrying about standard kids who cant do calculus or other relatively simple maths
physics is jst being ruined atp, WHY would they add more of the shit stuff that everyone hates
especially if all the aboriginal stuff coolcat is talking about is true, i genuinely would reconsider doing physics if i had this new syllabus. i already hate the aboriginal people memorisation shit that they make us do in chem, it's a total memory game, why would they now bring it into physics too
| - Explain why Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples used inclined planes to move heavy objects - Describe how Aboriginal Peoples use the wave velocity and wavelength of water waves to approximate water depth - Analyse the motion of projectiles used by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples - Relate Aboriginal Peoples’ Knowledge of different star colours to the type of nucleosynthesis reactions occurring in main sequence stars |
probably for the same reasons any other people would do it
rlly?? aboriginal people saw the SAME COLOURS, why are they being separated out like this
I don't aboriginals ever used inclined planes unlike the egyptiansprobably for the same reasons any other people would do it

bro what the hell they really think they’re making some difference by adding this into the syllabus, it’s completely irrelevant. If you want some sort of recognition of ATSI people add it to a subject that’s actually relevant. shoving it in here like that is just so cheap and tokenistic, like without a second thought just for the sake of it. literally adds no value to the syllabus. also if yall are gonna add it to physics at least teach me how tf a boomerang works, not how they used ramps
could’ve put the Romans in there for using ramps oml
The maths and physics behind boomerangs are out of the scope for high school level lolbro what the hell they really think they’re making some difference by adding this into the syllabus, it’s completely irrelevant.

Definitely. Just look at what an American high school physics exam asks.
see that looks actually interesting, whereas 9 mark qualitative essays are such bullshit. i cant wait for uni
