As part of the NSW syllabus (Stage 5 Living World), students are to recognise how society influences the focus of scientific research.

3 Distance Speed Time Experiments
Motion- the first bridge between mathematics and physics. My Year 10 classes and I finished Term 1 off by beginning our exploration into the physical phenomena of motion. In a school with a high English as An Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) student population such as ours, I find it extremely satisfying to be able to use mathematics, the universal language of the universe, to communicate our observations and ideas in the classroom.
