Physics - annotated exemplars
Show: Physics Homepage
An annotated exemplar is an extract of student evidence, with a commentary, to explain key aspects of the standard. It assists teachers to make assessment judgements at the grade boundaries.
The material in these exemplars cannot be used (either in part or in full) for internal or external assessments submitted for any form of grading.
Level 1
- AS90935 - Carry out a practical physics investigation that leads to a linear mathematical relationship, with direction (1.1)
- AS90936 - Demonstrate understanding of the physics of an application (1.2)
Level 2
- AS91168 - Carry out a practical physics investigation that leads to a non-linear mathematical relationship (2.1)
- AS91169 - Demonstrate understanding of physics relevant to a selected context (2.2)
- AS91172 - Demonstrate understanding of atomic and nuclear physics (2.5)
Level 3
- AS91521 - Carry out a practical investigation to test a physics theory relating two variables in a non-linear relationship (3.1)
