Physics in Focus

Physics in Focus is a dynamic new series that
has been written to address the New South
Wales Stage 6 Physics syllabus. The syllabus
dot points are addressed in a concise,
sequential manner with relevant first-hand and
secondary source investigations integrated
throughout. The texts emphasise the Prescribed
Focus Areas (PFAs) to help provide additional
understanding and meaning to the study of
Physics.
