How much of Physics is like our past topics?

E.g., this year's "Motion" topic. I hope not a lot because that was the most boring topic ever.

4 Topics:
The world communicates (waves and stuff)
Electrical energy in the home (electricity and etc)
Moving about (motion)
The cosmic engine (astronomy stuff)

That's year 11 btw.

The motion unit of the course has 5 components (5 chapters in the textbook), and we've done 2/5 this year - straight-line motion and motion in two dimensions. The other sections are projectile motion, circular motion and simple harmonic motion, which are probably more interesting than what we're doing now. This is from the old syllabus so I'm not entirely sure if it's still the same.

EDIT: Actually we've only done straight-line motion this year.

We haven't done 2D motion this year. We've only done linear motion.

Oh yeah we haven't. Whoops.

dont think there is projectile.. in prelim

Maybe it's been changed. It should still be covered somewhere in the course though...

I don't hate science. I hate some parts of science (eg. physics) but i like others (chem).

And maths is a science and its awesome

I like maths, physics and chemistry =D

I agree with Chris, the year 11 syllabus seems terrible. I had no idea physics had WAVES IN IT!!!!

Nah chris has his reasons. *cough*fluctuatingmarksforaparticularreason*cough*

Nah, the physics curriculum is really boring. Not worth doing at all.

If it's between the sciences, it's more like, the BIOLOGY curriculum is really boring. Not worth doing at all.
