Changes to the Stage 6 Science syllabuses. (1 Viewer)

[Forbidden.]

There are changes to the following Stage 6 Science courses as of December 2006:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Senior Science

I'll post only the Physics ones to save space.
For more information refer to the link at the bottom of this thread.

Amendment #1
HSC Physics Core Topic - Ideas to Implementation
Omission of the solar cell in researching the use of the photoelectric effect.

identify data sources gather, process and present information to summarise the use of the photoelectric effect in:
-solar cells
-photocells

to

identify data sources, gather, process and present information to summarise the use of the photoelectric effect in photocells

Amendment #2
HSC Physics Core Topic - Ideas to Implementation
Addition of a new research topic.

identify data sources, gather, process and present information to summarise the effect of light on semiconductors in solar cells

Amendment #3
NOTE: I study Astrophysics so I don't know which elective this belongs to, I believe this most likely belongs to Medical Physics.

describe situations in which A scans, B scans, and phase and sector scans would be used and the reasons for the use of each

Have these changes already been made?

Yes they have, as of December 2006.
So these amendments apply to you, me and those studying Physics in the future.

EDIT: There's also an amendment to the Preliminary Physics syllabus.

discuss how potential difference changes at different points around a DC circuit

to

discuss how potential difference changes between different points around a DC circuit

Thanks for that. But how can you spot the minor changes?

There is a link to a Word Document at the very bottom of the thread which covers Biology, Chemistry and Senior Science in addition to Physics.
