NSW Curriculum- Year 11
This page provides the links to my videos on this site and are arranged according to the NSW curriculum in terms of modules and inquiry questions.
Those with an EG have an associated worked out sample.
Those with an WS have sample problems.
Foundations/Skills
- Dimensions and Units
- Mathematical Skills - Prefixes , Scientific Notation, Significant Figures, Orders of Magnitude and Estimation
- Graphing - choosing the right graph, linearising data
- Validity, Reliability and Accuracy in First Hand Investigations
- Validity, Reliability and Accuracy in Second Hand Investigations (Research)
