Survivor - Mathematics and Physics

Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Ms M. Yelkur.

OUTWIT OUTPLAY OUTLAST: SURVIVOR!

In this maths and physics module you will learn the maths you need to coordinate maps and directions, and the physics you need to survive a harsh physical landscape. Why would you be learning such intense skills you ask? Because this is SCIENCE SURVIVOR and you will need these skills to get through challenges and lead your tribe to victory!

This module will cover mechanics (the physics of how everyday life, motion, and forces work) and co-ordinate geometry. Useful not just for surviving the jungle, but also for anyone interested in practical work (trades, mechanics), engineering and design (engineering, architecture), medicine (forces at play in the human body), sports (the forces and motion of sport), and lots of other areas of study. 





Pathway

This is a great module to take if you are not planning on going to uni. It has a lot of practical knowledge that is useful in trades and polytech courses
This is a great module if you are planning on going to uni, this is the foundation for all future physics study
This is very strongly recommended for future medical and engineering study
This is a very strongly recommended course for level 3 mechanics in year 13

The standards offered are correct at the time of writing. These are subject to change depending on student selections.

We endeavour to run all courses but are subject to minimise class sizes. Maximum class sizes apply. Once a course is full alternative selections are needed.

Course context or content may change by the start of the year.

Once a student makes their selections and confirms these, any changes must be accompanied by a letter of support from Whanau and are subject to available spaces in courses. 

All Junior Bilingual students must select the literacy and numeracy modules in the language of their pathway each trimester and one other integrated language module  (3 out of 4 of their modules must be bilingual).

All senior Bilingual students must take all modules available in the language of their pathway.
