The Physics Book Units 1 & 2 supports the development and application of key knowledge and skills for students studying science in both Queensland and greater Australia. The consistent approach used in the text promotes familiarity for students, supporting practice and revision of the content learnt in class and in preparation for assessment and exams. The workbook revises content introduced in the classroom and provides comprehensive sets of questions to give students valuable exam preparation and reinforce their learning.
